This was okay, but I used polenta instead of grits. I had to triple the polenta in order for there to be enough to classify this dish as a casserole. I also left out the butter.

Definitely a hit at our house, and I can see the versatility in this casserole. My additions: 1 tsp dried parsley flakes, some sautéed onions and green peppers. My substitution: instead of 2 cups cheddar - used 1 1/2 cups Monterey jack, 4 Tbsp Romano & 2 Tsp Parmesan.
