CHILI CHEESE GRITS SQUARES



Chili Cheese Grits Squares image

Found this in a Southern Living of indeterminate age. I NEVER liked grits until I fixed this with roast beef and gravy. NOW -- I pay much more attention to grits recipes, expecially when there is an unexpected, added twist. These go well with ANY beef and/or vegetables, and are just a little different. Times do not include chill time.

CHILI CHEESE GRITS



Chili Cheese Grits image

Grits are hulled, dried, and cracked corn kernels. To add variety to your grain repertoire, try them! I do urge you to try using stone-ground grits, which are much more flavorful than those sold in supermarkets. However, the latter can't be beat for convenience, especially the quick-cooking kind.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup grits (preferably stone-ground)
2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine
One 4-ounce can chopped mild green chilies
1 or 2 scallions, thinly sliced, optional
1 cup firmly packed grated sharp cheddar cheese or cheddar-style soy cheese
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 4 3/4 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Slowly sprinkle in the grits, stirring constantly to avoid lumping. Cook over very low heat until smooth and thick, about 25 minutes for stone-ground and 5 minutes for quick grits.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients. Heat until the cheese is smoothly melted into the grits and serve.
