Stove Top Grit "casserole"

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, slowly bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Whisk in the grits and reduce heat to medium low, whisking frequently to prevent lumps from forming, and simmer about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Whisk in beaten eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to keep the eggs from forming lumps. Stir in bacon bits (or crumbled bacon, yum!) and cook 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Add cheese, stirring until it's melted in and the grits look creamy. Add onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Pour into serving bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, more bacon -- whatever suits your fancy.

Step 5

Enjoy!
