Stove Top Grit "Casserole"

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, slowly bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Whisk in the grits and reduce heat to medium low, whisking frequently to prevent lumps from forming, and simmer about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Whisk in beaten eggs, one at a time, stirring quickly to keep the eggs from forming lumps. Stir in bacon bits (or crumbled bacon, yum!) and cook 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.

3. 3

   Add cheese, stirring until it's melted in and the grits look creamy. Add onion powder, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Pour into serving bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, green onion, more bacon -- whatever suits your fancy.

5. 5

   Enjoy!
