Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 2 cloves of minced garlic.
Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the grit mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly on top.
