Recipe: Low Fat Cheesy Bacon Grits (using fat free cheese and turkey bacon)

LOW FAT CHEESY BACON GRITS

4 1/2 cups fat free milk
1 cup quick cooking grits
1 1/2 tsp. Molly McButter (or Butter Buds)
1 tsp. Natures Seasoning (I use any seasoning mix)
4 egg whites, slightly beaten
2 cups Fat Free shredded cheddar cheese, divided use
6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 drops hot sauce
Nonstick spray

Bring milk to a boil. Add grits; reduce heat to simmer. Cook 5 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add Molly McButter, Natures Seasonings, and egg whites. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese, bacon, and hot pepper sauce. Turn into an (8x8-inch) baking pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 45 minutes. Till brown and puffy.

VARIATION:
Add 1/8 cup chopped green onion or 1/8 cup chopped parsley. I've tried chopped cilantro too. Yum!!
