Whizy Garlic Cheese Grits

Submitted by Gohogsgirl

"Classic southern favorite using... CHEESE WHIZ (gourmet chefs keep your pants on)... this recipe is for garlic flavor, but I also make this with jalapenos - dice 1 whole pickled jalapeno & add 1 tbsp of the juice to the cheese grits. Happy Eating! I do not add extra salt to this recipe because of the salt content in the cheese, tabasco, and worcestershire sauces. *ALSO I put that this serves 8 for nutrition informatino purposes - for larger portions plan on this serving 6 people*"
