Spicy Cheesy Grits

Using The Cheese Guy’s Habanero Monterey Jack cheese I made the most flavorful grits. They can be eaten right away, or baked in the oven and served any time. I actually preferred them reheated the next day. These grits can kick off your day right, but might be even better as a side dish to fish or some hearty veggies any evening.
