Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Grits Casserole

Mrs. Riley says that this recipe may be halved and baked in a 13″ x 9″ baking dish at 350° for 40 minutes or until bubbly. She also recommends fresh herbs (when in season) instead of dried. To avoid extra chopping, she sometimes steeps sprigs of fresh herbs in the milk as it comes to a boil (this takes about 10 minutes). She then removes the herbs from the hot milk, adds the grits, butter, and salt, and cooks the grits as directed before assembling the casserole.

Ingredients

8 cups milk, divided
 
1 tablespoon salt
 
2 cups uncooked stone-ground white grits
 
1 cup unsalted butter
 
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
 
2 teaspoons dried dill weed, thyme, or sage or a combination of the three (or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs)
 
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese or a combination of the three, divided
 
6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled

Preparation

Combine 6 cups milk and salt in a large, heavy saucepan; cook over medium-high heat just until milk starts to boil. Gradually whisk in grits and butter. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until thick, stirring often.

Preheat oven to 350°. Remove grits from heat; add remaining 2 cups milk, stirring to cool grits mixture. Stir in eggs, herbs, and 1 cup cheese. Pour grits mixture into a lightly greased 15″ x 10″ baking dish; top with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top of casserole; serve immediately.

Excellent “But Better” video!

Made these last week. Fantastic! Took extra time to make everything. Using store bought English muffins saved me!

You will not be disappointed. So delicious. Another excellent “But Better” video!

Next, get ready family! It’s Crunchwrap Supreme night!

Best Grilled Sandwich Ever!

He makes it look so easy. I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but never would have thought about trying mayonnaise instead of butter. I can’t wait to give this a try.

Comfort foods, Part 1

I’m slowly coming out of my shell like so many around the world. Do you feel like you’ve lost direction? Need a purpose? A plan? Over the past year, I learned how to bake bread, grow a vegetable garden, sew homemade bags, de-clutter, etc, etc, etc.

One thing I have especially enjoyed are cooking videos and television shows. There are too many to name all in one blog post. I wish I was as creative and talented as the people in the videos, whether they had a few hundred subscribers or over one million there are always new and interesting things to learn.

I’m going to return to this blog by posting one of my favorite comfort foods by The Pioneer Woman. Hope you enjoy.
