SPAM and Grits Brunch Casserole

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Gradually whisk in the grits, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously, until thickened and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the grated luncheon meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, then drain any excess fat. Fold half the luncheon meat into the cooked grits along with the tomatoes, sour cream, and half the cheddar cheese. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining luncheon meat and cheddar.

4. 4

   Bake until the casserole is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and bubbling, approximately 30 minutes.
