1 c. uncooked grits
4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 c. butter
1 c. milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 c. cheddar cheese, grated

Bring to boil salt and water; stir in grits and follow package directions. Turn off heat. Add butter, milk, garlic powder, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing well. Let cool so that eggs will not cook when added.

Add eggs and pour in a buttered casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. During last few minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
