How to Make Garlic Grits Southern Style

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of quick-cooking grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 8 ounces of velveeta cheese, 4 ounces of garlic cheese, 4 tablespoons of margarine, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add garlic powder to taste for a stronger garlic flavor.
  5. Pour the grits mixture into a greased 1-quart baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of paprika evenly over the top.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden brown.
