Cheese Grits

Servings = 12 | Serving size =about a cup

I would not double this recipe but make two separate batches. Leftovers, however, are pretty good.

8 cups water
2 cups old fashioned grits
1 tsp salt
6 ounces low-fat sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup 2% milk

Place the water in a medium sauce pan (at least 6 quart size) and heat over high heat.

As the water begins to boil slowly add the grits stirring constantly.

Reduce the heat to medium high and add the salt stirring well.

Cook the grits for 12 minutes, stirring to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

As the grits are cooking preheat oven to 325°F.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese and milk.

When the cheese has melted, pour the grits into a 12 inch oblong Pyrex dish.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
