Cheesy Ham Corn And Grits Bake Recipes

CHEESY CORN GRITS W/ COUNTRY HAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Cook desired amount of grits in salted water as directed on package. (I used 1 c. quick-cooking white grits and 1 tsp salt in 3 1/2 cups boiling water) Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet; add ham pieces and saute until browned. Set aside. When grits are done, whisk in the milk and corn, cover and cook for another minute or two. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, black pepper, and cheese until melted. Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. Fold in ham pieces. Serve immediately with hot biscuits, scrambled eggs (or however you like them), and hot coffee. Keep grits covered to stay warm. (Stir in a little water to thin for desired creaminess). Thin any leftovers with a little water and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.
