Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease shallow 21⁄2-quart casserole. In 4-quart saucepan, combine 11⁄2 cups milk, water, butter, and salt; heat to boiling over medium- high heat. With wire whisk, gradually whisk in grits, beating constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat; cover and cook, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon, 5 minutes (grits will be very stiff). Remove from heat; stir in Cheddar.

Step 2

In medium bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs, remaining 2 cups milk, hot pepper sauce, and black pepper until blended. Gradually stir egg mixture into grits.

Step 3

Pour grits mixture into prepared casserole. Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 minutes
