Grits with Cheddar Bacon Salt and Artichokes

Ingredients

• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup quick grits
• 1 Tbsp Cheddar (or other flavor) Bacon Salt
• 1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less, to taste)
• 1 can (14 to 16 ounces) artichoke hearts, chopped, or use frozen cooked artichoke hearts
• 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

Heat oven to 350° F. Grease a baking dish.

In a large saucepan, combine broth and water. Bring to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

Remove grits from heat. Add the Bacon Salt and remaining ingredients; stir well. Pour into the baking dish. Bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until set. Top with the Cheddar Cheese and additional Bacon Salt to taste.
