GRITS AND GREENS CASSEROLE

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
2 cups half-and-half
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups grits, such as Quaker Old Fashioned
6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, finely chopped
One 16-ounce package frozen collard greens, thawed
1 3/4 cups grated Parmesan (6 ounces)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the half-and-half and 6 cups of the chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once up to a boil, stir in the grits. Bring it back up to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has slightly thickened (it should resemble cooked oatmeal in thickness), 10 to 15 minutes. Use a whisk to break up any lumps that have formed.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until just turning crispy, about 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel, patting it to remove any excess fat. Using the same saucepan, add the onions to the leftover bacon drippings and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Then add the collard greens and the remaining 2 cups chicken stock and cook until tender, another 10 minutes. Drain the collards and onions in a colander.
  • Once the grits are done, add the Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the Monterey jack. Stir until the butter has melted and all the ingredients are well combined. Then add the drained collards mixture and stir.
  • Transfer the grits mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the crumbled bacon and the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey jack. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right grits. Stone-ground grits have a more coarse texture and nutty flavor than regular grits. Quick-cooking grits are also an option, but they will cook up softer.
  • Use flavorful stock. Chicken stock or vegetable stock will add more flavor to the grits than water. You can also use a combination of stock and water.
  • Don't overcook the grits. Grits should be cooked until they are creamy and tender, but not mushy. Overcooked grits will be gluey and unpleasant.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Grits are a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, eggs, salsa, and hot sauce.

Conclusion:

Green chile and egg grits are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a crowd, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a hearty and flavorful meal that will keep you satisfied all day long.
