I've made this many times and it's fabulous. I sometimes use half Velveeta and half sharp white Vermont cheddar or all Velveeta in the grits and sprinkle shredded white cheddar on top. Also a few dashes of Tobasco instead of cayenne add a wonderful flavor. This a holiday staple for our family and we also use this for shrimp and grits. Read More

This was delicious. I wasn't sure when it came out of the over but boy was I surprised. I added minced garlic instead of the garlic powder and put roasted red peppers on top. The only thing I would change is to add the velveeta to the grits insteadd of on too.. Read More

this recipe was very good. The only thing I would change is I stirred in the Velveeta cheese instead of topping it. I instead topped it with corn flakes. Other than that I loved this recipe! Read More
