Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups stone ground yellow or white grits
  • 3 TBSP butter
  • 1.5-2 cups Pimento Cheese
  • Fresh tomatoes thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring water, milk and half and half to a simmer. Watch carefully so it doesn’t boil over. Add salt and slowly whisk in grits. Bring grits to a simmer, stirring constantly. Lower heat and cover grits. Cook 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until grits are rich and creamy. Stir in butter. Pour grits into a 9 x 13 baking dish and let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Top grits with Pimento Cheese. Add sliced tomatoes. You can also substitute with a can of diced tomatoes that have been drained. Top with green onions.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
