How to Make Jalapeno Cheese Grits
- Bring 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse stone-ground grits. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes, or until the grits are thickened and creamy.
- Stir in 4 tablespoons of butter and 16 ounces of velveeta cheese, cut into cubes, until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the grits, stirring constantly to combine.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of finely chopped jalapenos (adjust to your spice preference).
- Pour the grit mixture into a greased 8x8 inch casserole dish.
- Bake uncovered in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
