Aunt Cheryls Baked Grits

Whenever we visit my brother in North Carolina, his wife makes the most fabulous breakfast dishes. This cheesy grits casserole is hands down the crowd favorite. Thanks, Aunt Cheryl!

Step: 1

Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Step: 2

Bring milk and 1 stick of butter to a slow boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in grits, salt, and pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into the prepared baking pan. Place in the refrigerator until firm, at least 1 hour.

Step: 3

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step: 4

Remove chilled grits from the refrigerator and cut into rectangular pieces. Remove pieces from the baking pan and then drop them back into the pan randomly, as if they were falling domino tiles. Pour melted 1/2 stick butter over grits and sprinkle with Swiss and Parmesan cheeses.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until grits are cooked through and cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. If you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
