How To Make tomato grits

1
MAKE GARLIC-CHEESE ROLL: Soften cheeses & mix all together well. Shape into four rolls & wrap well in foil or plastic wrap.

2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3
In a saucepan, bring the water & milk to a boil. Add the salt & slowly add t the grits & return to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat, cover & cook for 3 minutes. While stirring the grits, add 1/2 Tbsp. butter & stir until butter is melted. Cover & cook for 3 - 5 minutes, or until the grits are thick & creamy. Remove from heat; set aside.
4
Using a skillet, saute the onions in the remaining 1 Tbsp butter for 1 minute. Add the garlic cheese, 1/2 C cheddar & onions to grits, & stir until the cheese is melted. Add tomatoes & mix well. Stir in the beaten eggs. Pour the grits into a greased 8 x 11 x 2" casserole & bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the casserole for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Enjoy!
