Baked Cheese Grits Casserole

A perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch. I usually make it the night before, refrigerate it, and then bake it before serving.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bring water to a boil in large saucepan.

Add grits and salt and stir until mixture comes to a boil.

Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes , stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and add cheeses , bacon , butter , garlic , black pepper , and hot sauce.

Stir well.

Stir in eggs and pour into an ungreased 1 1 / 2 quart casserole.

Bake about 50 minutes.

May refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
