Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Add water and salt to a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the grits and mix well, and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for five minutes. Stir frequently to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and add the cheddar cheese, milk, butter, Worcestershire sauce, ground red pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is combined and the cheese and butter have melted.

Step 4

Add the eggs and continue stirring until they are thoroughly mixed in with the other ingredients.

Step 5

Spray a two-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the mixture. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the top and garnish with a pinch of paprika.

Step 6

Bake uncovered for one hour. Let the casserole stand for five to ten minutes before serving.
