Studying Davy Crockett

We just finished up studying Davy Crockett. In one book we read they had a recipe for Tennessee Grits. The kids made it last night. The family loved it. We served it as a side dish with ham, green beans and rolls. It was a big hit. 

Here is the recipe for Tennessee Grits. 

1 cup grits, regular or quick-cooking (I used two)
8 oz (1/2 pound) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
8 tablespoons butter
3 eggs beaten
1/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare grits according to package directions. Stir in the cheese, butter, eggs and milk. Pour the mixture into a buttered baking dish. Bake 40 minutes, or until set. Serve hot with butter. Some people add a drizzle of syrup to top things off.
