Kiss My Grits

1 cup quick grits
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 egg
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
hot sauce (to taste)
---------
In a microwave safe bowl, combine 1 cup quick grits and 3 cups water. Microwave until the mixture starts boiling (may do on stovetop but add another ½ cup water). Stir and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together grits, shredded cheddar cheese, butter or margarine, egg (pre-beaten, and make sure grits are cool enough that it doesn’t scramble), salt, garlic powder and a couple dashes of hot sauce (to taste). Mix these all together until everything is well blended and cheese may be somewhat melted.
Pour the mixed concoction into a greased 2 qt casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Serves 6-8
