Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 2 cups milk

  • 1 cup quick-cooking grits

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the grits, then cover the saucepan, and cook for 5 minutes.

  3. Once the grits have cooked, stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, chipotle peppers, green chiles, and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese until the cheese has melted. Pour the grits into the prepared 9x13 inch dish, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly, and has begun to brown, 30-45 minutes.
