Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup grits , coarse ground cornmeal ( yellower and coarser the better, if white is all you have , use it if you must)
2 cups whole milk (or double and ignore the water)
2 cups water (or use chicken or veggie stock in place of and or or milk)
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper (more or less to taste)
4 oz butter
2 tsp garlic powder (i use granulated garlic, if you use garlic salt, reduce the salt!!!!)
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (save 1/4 of it for the top)
4 eggs, beaten
jalapeno, diced
nuts, chopped
onion, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a saucepan, heat the milk and water to boiling, reduce heat. Let the cornmeal run through your fingers while you are stirring it into the liquid. This will keep you from having lumps.
When it is all incorporated, add the eggs and butter, while stirring.
Stir in 3/4 of the cheese, salt, pepper and garlic.
Pour into a 9x13 casserole (oiled, buttered, sprayed or silpat).
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
Bake until heated through and set and a knife comes out cleanly. Check at 20 minutes.
