Stove Top Grit "Casserole" - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups skim milk (can use half water)
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheese (used colby jack)
1 -2 tablespoon bacon bits (the real ones)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
sour cream (for garnish)
green onions (for garnish) or chives (for garnish)

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, slowly bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Whisk in the grits and reduce heat to medium low, whisking frequently to prevent lumps from forming, and simmer about 5 minutes.
Whisk in beaten eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to keep the eggs from forming lumps. Stir in bacon bits (or crumbled bacon, yum!) and cook 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Add cheese, stirring until it's melted in and the grits look creamy. Add onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour into serving bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, more bacon -- whatever suits your fancy.
Enjoy!
