~ CREAMY CHEESY MEXICAN FLAIR GRITS ~ CASSIES
My family loves anything taco flavored , and they love grits. So, I thought, why not taco flavored grits. I've served these grits alone, or with our favorite taco condiments. They are great either way. I decided to serve with taco meat we had left over from tacos a few nights ago They can be served with eggs for a Southwestern...

Steps:
- 1. In a small skillet add a little oil and saute onion, pepper and garlic, until onions are translucent. Set aside.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray In a dutch oven, over medium heat, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Stir in grits and reduce heat to med low. Continue stirring until thick, about 10 - 12 minutes.
- 3. To the grits, stir in the butter, 3/4 cup cheddar & 1/2 cup Monterrey Jack, taco seasoning, green chiles, onion mixture, corn. Stir until well combined and continue cooking over low heat until cheeses are melted.
- 4. Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the egg. Spread into prepared pan and top with remaining cheese. I sprinkle with some red pepper flakes. Totally optional.
- 5. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden. I leave it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. It will be creamy more so than a stiff bar type grit, as that's how we like it. Can be served as bars, once cooled. Can be served with your favorite taco condiments.
- 6. Enjoy!
