GRILLED GARLIC CHEESE GRITS
We love grits, this is another good way to serve them. A great alternative to a baked potato when served with grilled steak or chicken. I belive this recipe could be made with instant grits.The 2 1/2 hours for refrigeration is not include in time. The recipe comes from Tast of Home's Light and Tasty.
