Betty's "Kiss My Grits" Garlic-Cheddar Cheese Grits Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her popular Southern Garlic-Cheddar Cheese Grits recipe. These grits look wonderful on the dinner table, and they are sooooo flavorful! Your guests will want to kiss the cook after tasting these!

Ingredients:

4 cups rapidly boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick grits
1 stick butter or margarine
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 well beaten eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons canned (bottled) minced garlic

Heat 4 cups of water to boiling in a pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup quick grits. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until grits are done (smooth and thickened). Remove from heat and add 1 stick of butter or margarine, 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese, 2 well-beaten eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 teaspoons of bottled minced garlic. Stir everything together and pour into a oven-proof dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. (In the video, I baked my casserole at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, but I think 400 degrees will be better.) Remove grits casserole from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, and serve while hot! It's delicious!!!

is this the same grits recipe you'd make with say shrimp and grits?

[bettyskitchen]

@Amanivajra Yes, this would be fine for Shrimp and Grits.

1 stick of butter sure is a lot. How would it turn out with a half of stick?

[bettyskitchen]

@califiregirl It would be fine! This is my old recipe that I have made for ages with rave reviews, but when I make it just for my family, I only use 1/2 stick butter.

"No self-respecting southerner uses instant grits, i take pride in my grits",lol. just a quote from my cousin vinny, youre grits look good.

you are such a treasure miss Betty, I am so glad that I cam across you. I hope to use many of your recipes for many years to come. I think you've become my go-to lady for american cooking. thank you for being so wonderful!

@nextlevel2burittos yes, there is a lot of fat in cheese grits, but you don't eat the whole recipe at once, and you don't eat cheese grits every day! You could compare a single serving of grits to something like a bacon cheeseburger.
