Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Grits Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 9x12-inch baking dish with butter to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine milk, water, and a pinch of salt, then bring this mixture to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling away, slowly sprinkle in the grits while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
Step 4
Keep stirring and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency that’s just begging to be tasted.
Step 5
Now, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the processed cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese, butter, and a dash of garlic powder.
Step 6
Keep mixing until the cheeses melt into a velvety smooth blend that fills your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
Step 7
Let this cheesy goodness cool for about 15 minutes, then gently fold in the beaten eggs until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 8
Pour the luscious grits mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is just as delightful as the last.
Step 9
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for around 45 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown and the casserole is set.
Step 10
As it bakes, your home will fill with the irresistible scent of comfort food, making it hard to wait for that first bite.
Step 11
Enjoy your deliciously cheesy grits casserole!.
