So glad you could join us for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday hosted by At The Well. The recipe I am sharing today would be a great addition to any pot-luck meal at your church or gathering with friends.
I have to be honest. I have never been a big grits fan. They were bland and boring. But I did not understand. Those grits were just waiting for someone to give them a kick, add some seasonings, or find the right combination of flavors to make them a dish worth bragging about. This recipe made me a convert. I hope you and your family will agree.
Mexican Corn Grits
- 4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup butter, divided
- 1 cup quick- cooking grits
- 2 eggs
- 1 can (11 ounces) Mexican style corn, drained
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- In a large saucepan, bring milk and 1/2 cup butter to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in small amount of hot grits into eggs; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Melt remaining butter; stir into grits. Add the corn, chilies, cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer to a greased 2-qt baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Do you have a food you never liked until that perfect recipe came along?

I’ve always been afraid to try grits because I was afraid they would be bland and boring, but these, I would definitely enjoy! I love the spices, texture and flavours in this recipe, Lisa, it sounds really good. I’ve linked up an Italian recipe for Pollo (chicken) Soffritto. Thanks to you and to The Well for hosting

hello! I just shared my honey roasted peanut cookies! they are so good!! i’d love for you to come over and link up for savory sundays (on sunday)! Have a great day!!
Love the idea! I’m not a fan of grits either, but this sounds great.
My recipe uses couscous, which I have only started eating in the last few months. I love the simplicity of it, but am looking for different ways to fix it too.
Thanks for the linky!
I know I need to try grits at some point, but I just haven’t been able to do it before. Maybe adding the extra flavor like this will make it yummy to me. Awesome
Happy belated Mother’s Day!

Thanks for hosting! I’m a bit late to the party. This week I’m sharing my EASY Stovetop Chicken Parm Pasta. I love that I can make it on the stove without heating up my whole house with the oven. It’s frugal in that I only have to use 2 chicken breasts to feed my family of 5 with leftovers.
