Ingredients

• ⅔ cup milk
• 4 cups water
• 3 eggs, beaten
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed
• 1 cup quick-cooking hominy grits

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserving 3 tablespoons of the drippings.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil and stir in the grits. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick, about 5 minutes. Crumble in about half of the bacon and stir in bacon drippings, processed cheese, milk and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and grits are set, about 40 minutes.
