Ingredients

• 4 Cups water
• 1 Cup quick-cooking grits
• 12 Ounces (oz) fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), grated
• 14.5 Ounces (oz) diced tomatoes
• 8 Ounces (oz) sour cream
• 16 Ounces (oz) Cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Slowly pour the grits into the water while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the grits are tender and thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir the grits constantly as they cook. Set aside.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and sprinkle in the grated luncheon meat. Cook, turning occasionally, until the luncheon meat has browned. Pour off any excess grease.
4. Stir half of the browned luncheon meat into the grits along with the diced tomatoes, sour cream, and half of the shredded Cheddar cheese.
5. Pour the grits mixture into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with the remaining luncheon meat and Cheddar cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and the cheese has melted and is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
