Grits Casserole

1. Combine grits, salt, water, and milk in a big pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. After it boils, turn down the heat to medium and stir frequently until it is thickened (probably for 15-20 minutes).

2. Add gouda, butter, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to the grits. Stir until everything is melted and completely mixed.

3. Add the eggs and transfer into a lightly greased 2-quart casserole dish.

4. Mix grated parmesan cheese and paprika in a small bowl. Set aside.

5. Put the casserole dish in a preheated 350ºF oven. The baking time is 1 hour. At 45 minutes, take the dish out of the oven and sprinkle the parmesan-paprika mix on top of the casserole. Put it back in the oven and cook for another 15 minutes. Let it stand 15 minutes before serving.

5. As it cools, it will thicken.
