How to Make Stove Top Grit Casserole

  1. Cook 1 cup of quick-cooking grits according to package directions, but double the cooking time for extra creaminess. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  2. While grits are cooking, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs.
  4. Once the grits are cooked and creamy, reduce heat to low. Gently stir in the whisked eggs, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese blend).
  6. Add 1/4 cup of crumbled bacon bits and stir to combine.
  7. If desired, sauté 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion until softened before adding to the grits.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions (optional).
