Baked Cheddar Grits
Ingredients
  • 1 quart milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup uncooked grits
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, lightly coat a medium-sized baking container with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
3
In a large saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until it reaches boiling point. At the same time, melt 1/2 cup of butter in the milk to create a rich and creamy mixture.
4
Gradually incorporate grits into the boiling milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes before removing it from heat.
5
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the cooked grits, stirring well to combine.
6
Then, use a whisk or electric mixer to blend the grits until they are smooth and free of lumps.
7
Mix in 1/3 cup of melted butter and 1/3 cup of grated Cheddar cheese to create a deliciously creamy texture.
8
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
9
Finally, bake the mixture in your preheated oven until it is firm and set, approximately 1 hour.
