Baked Garlic Cheese Grits
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Baked Garlic Cheese Grits is my recipe of the day.
This is a traditional southern grits casserole made with garlic and cheese, then baked. It is pretty much a staple for any good country breakfast.
Often grits are made plain to be served sweet or not. Tis grits recipes bakes with cheese so tons of flavor is built right in.
I like grits alongside a country breakfast with meat, eggs, biscuits, gravy and grits.
Plus coffee is pretty much mandatory.

Very easy and tasty! I’d like to try this with a dollop of roasted garlic instead of garlic powder. But delicious as posted. Thanks for sharing! Made for FYC game on Yuku.com
