For the best flavor and texture, use stone-ground grits. Avoid instant grits, as they will not yield the same results.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyere, Gouda, or even a little bit of pepper jack would be delicious additions.
If the top is browning too quickly during baking, tent the dish with foil.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
