CHILI CHEESE GRITS SQUARES



Chili Cheese Grits Squares image

Found this in a Southern Living of indeterminate age. I NEVER liked grits until I fixed this with roast beef and gravy. NOW -- I pay much more attention to grits recipes, expecially when there is an unexpected, added twist. These go well with ANY beef and/or vegetables, and are just a little different. Times do not include chill time.
