Ingredients

3 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
1 1/3 cups quick-cooking grits
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus 1 cup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups mayonnaise
2 (4-ounce) can mushroom pieces and stems, drained
2 (2.8- ounce) can French-fried onion rings

Directions

Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in grits, and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes, or until grits are thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and salt. Remove from heat. Spoon grits into a greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Cover, and chill at least 2 hours, or until firm. Un-mold grits onto a large cutting board.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut out 48 (1 1/2-inch) circles using a round or fluted cookie cutter. Brush a large jellyroll pan with melted butter. Place grits rounds on pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn grits, and bake 15 minutes more. Set aside. (Up to this point, the recipe can be prepared ahead. If preparing early, cover and refrigerate grit rounds until you are ready to top with mushroom mixture.)

In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, 1 cup Parmesan, mushrooms, and onion rings. Top each grits round evenly with mushroom mixture. Broil 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and heated through.

I can't believe this many people liked it
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This was just awful. I followed the recipe very closely. The topping was just terrible. I decided not to serve these and had... to scramble at the last minute for my part in a pot luck party. The only reason this doesn't have 1 star is the grit cakes themselves were ok. I think with a better topping they would work great. But that canned mushroom/canned onion/mayo stuff couldn't even be saved by very good Parmesan cheese. Read more

Unbelievably good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fresh mushrooms make the difference. I reduced the mayonnaise and it was excellent. Also had to cook grits longer to get... them to brown just a little.Read more

LOVE THEM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are AMAZING! I do tend to toast my grits a bit longer than the directions say to get that crisp on them but other than... that I stick with the recipe to the "t". These are loved by people that don't even care for grits! My husband LOVES them!!Read more

Not very tasty
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made these but didn't find them very tasty. I think the next time I would use fresh sauteed mushrooms (don't much care for... canned mushrooms as they tend to be bland).Read more
