JALAPENO CHEESE GRITS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the grits according to the directions on the back of the package (usually between 5-10 minutes), whisking the whole time to avoid lumps.
• Remove from the heat and add next 6 ingredients (cheddar through chilies).
• Stir well and season with garlic salt, to taste.
• Pour into a buttered 9x9-inch baking dish and bake for 1 hour.
• Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on medium-low and add the a jalapeños. While stirring occasionally, cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Remove the jalapeños and garlic from the pot.
• Pour into the pot the milk and water, add the salt, then turn the heat to high. When the liquid comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low, add the grits, and stir until thick and creamy, about 5-8 minutes.
• After the grits are done, stir in the cheese, jalapeños, garlic, and stir until the cheese has melted. Taste and add more salt if needed.
