Creamy Grits Casserole
Celia never met a pork chop she couldn’t burn, but she could do up grits like the queen of Sugar Ditch. If grits are a regular
on your breakfast or brunch menu, try this decadent twist: Grits Casserole. Flavored with Gouda, Cheddar, and a dash of red
pepper, these grits are no sides dish—they’re the star of the show. As Abilene says, “That’s all grits is, a vehicle. For
whatever it is you rather be eating.” Melty cheese, anyone?
