Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 cup quick-cooking grits
  • 1/2 cup ghee
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded non-dairy cheese divided
  • 3 tablespoons canned chopped green chilies
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring water, salt and garlic to a boil; slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.
  2. Remove from the heat and add ghee, 1 cup cheese and chilies; stir until butter melts.
  3. Beat eggs and milk; add to the grits and chicken and mix well. Pour into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
  4. Bake, uncovered, at 350?F for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Notes

Personally I usually double this recipe, add a whole can or two of green chilies depending on my mood, and throw in a 12 oz can of chicken. I stir it into the whole mix and then it becomes more of a one pot meal.
