Ingredients

2 1/4 cups whole milk
2 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking grits
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed
1/4 cup butter
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs, beaten

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x12-inch baking dish.
2 Bring milk, water, and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; gradually sprinkle grits into the boiling liquid, stirring to combine. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
3 Stir processed cheese, sharp Cheddar cheese, butter, and garlic powder into grits, stirring until cheese has melted.
4 Let the mixture stand until cooled, about 15 minutes. Stir beaten eggs into grits; transfer to prepared baking dish.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly golden brown and the grits are set, about 45 minutes.
