Cheesy Smoking Grits

• 2 14 cups water
• 12 cup quick-cooking grits
• 4 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut up
• 1 dash garlic salt
• smoked paprika

1. In saucepan slowly stir grits into boiling water.
2. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover pan , but stir every minute or so to reduce clumping.
3. Cook for 12-14 minutes or until thickened.
4. Add cheese and garlic to cooked grits and stir until melted and combined.
5. You could just serve this now as a side if you didn't want to wait BUT --
6. To make them fantastic -- Pour grits into a greased baking dish , sized accordingly to how much you have made, sprinkle top with smoked paprika and put into a preheated 350 oven for 15-20 minutes.
7. I like a slightly browned crust to mine and I like it to set up so 12-15 minutes works best for my taste -- Enjoy!
