Recipe: Hominy Grits Casserole

Serves 6

1 C hominy grits
3 C milk
1 t salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 C water
6 T butter
1 C grated cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese
½ C canned green chilies, rinsed & chopped

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stir the hominy grits into the milk in a saucepan, add the salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring often so the mixture doesn't scorch. When it is thick, remove from the heat and add the eggs and water, stirring vigorously. Return to the burner and cook until thickened again. Stir in the butter, cheese, and
chilies. Spread in a casserole and bake for 30 minutes.
