Tomato Grits

These are absolutely fantastic. You'll want to make them again and again. Great to serve for company. The Ro-Tel gives it a great kick. You'll love these!

What you need:
2 cups water
1 1/4 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1 cup quick cooking grits
1 stick butter (plus one tablespoon)
1/3 cup diced green onions
6 oz kraft garlic cheese roll (I usually can't find this so I use a tub of garlic herb cheese from the fancy cheese section in the deli)
2.5 cups shredded cheddar
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 eggs, lightly beaten

What you need to do:
In saucepan, bring water & milk to a boil. Add salt. Slowly add grits & return to boil; stir for one full minute. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 3 minutes. Stir grits & add 1 stick butter, stirring until melted. Cover and cook 3-5 minutes or until grits are thick and creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sautee onion in 1 tbsp butter for one minute. Add garlic cheese, 1.5 cups cheddar, and onions to grits and sitr until cheese has melted. Add tomatoes & mix well, stir in beaten eggs. Pour grits into a greased 11 x 8 x 2 casserole dish. Bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top & cook for 5 more minutes.
