Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 3-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

3. Stir in grits, whisking constantly. Follow the package directions for how long to cook the grits.
4. Remove from the heat and add in the butter and 3 ¾ cups grated cheese. Stir until the butter and cheese has melted into the grits.
