๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions:

  1. Begin by bringing water and salt to a rapid boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, gradually add the quick-cooking grits to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the grits, stirring frequently, until they have thickened to your desired consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the butter, margarine, and Velveeta cheese until fully melted and well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and black pepper until smooth.
  6. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the grits mixture, stirring constantly to incorporate.
  7. Next, finely chop the jalapenos and fold them into the grits mixture until evenly distributed.
  8. Preheat your oven to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) and grease a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  9. Pour the grits mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  10. Bake the grits uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until set.
  11. After 45 minutes, remove the casserole dish from the oven and sprinkle the Monterey Jack pepper cheese over the top of the grits.
  12. Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Once done, remove the Jalapeno Cheese Grits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
  14. Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or a satisfying breakfast entree. Enjoy! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ
