Baked Cheese Grits

A good southern dish that I love to make for a crowd. It is indeed NOT a healthy recipe, but good nonetheless. My sister, who hates breakfast food, claims this to be her favorite. Enjoy.

Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 cup quick cooking grits
- 2 8-oz blocks of cheese, cubed (your choice what kind)
- 1 stick of butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 eggs, beaten

Directions
- Boil broth, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in grits and simmer for 8 minutes.
- Add cheese, milk, eggs, and butter.
- Pour in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality
- The cheese choice is up to you-- sharp cheddar is what the original recipe calls for. Last time I made it the brother in law and husband voted to throw in some Cabot habanero cheese and it was AWESOME. Mix it up or use what you've got.
- Depending on your type of grits they may not need to cook for 8 minutes-- but stir occasionally so they don't stick while cooking.
- This is a great "make the night before" item-- then just throw them from the fridge to the oven and you're set to go.
