Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Baked Grits Casserole.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a medium-sized baking dish to ensure a perfect release.
Step 2
In a large pot over medium heat, bring the milk to a gentle boil, then introduce 1/2 cup of butter, allowing it to melt into the warm liquid.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the grits, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes to create a smooth, lump-free texture.
Step 4
Once the mixture is off the heat, season it with salt and white pepper, then beat it with a whisk or electric mixer until silky smooth.
Step 5
Gently fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese along with 1/3 cup of butter, ensuring everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 6
Pour the creamy grits mixture into your prepared baking dish, then generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for that irresistible golden crust.
Step 7
Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the grits are firm and beautifully set.

Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this comforting dish!.
