Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly stir in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are soft. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Mixing and Baking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked grits, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Casserole

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. 5

    Add Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

  4. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crispy.
