Robins Cheesy Chipotle Grits

These spicy, creamy grits are a hit at every family barbeque. People ask me for the recipe every time I make them.

Step: 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step: 2

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the grits, then cover the saucepan, and cook for 5 minutes.

Step: 3

Once the grits have cooked, stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, chipotle peppers, green chiles, and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted. Pour the grits into the prepared 9x13 inch dish, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese.

Step: 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly, and has begun to brown, 30-45 minutes.

The most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more 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 juggling four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can made a dish do more often .
