Ham & Grits Casserole

Being a southern girl- I love my grits ! With butter, with cheese, and of course a lot of salt (which i'm sure is not good for you, but I'm a salt-a-holic...). This recipe today has all of those things - AND its a Weight Watcher recipe! You won't know it to taste it though. I fixed this for our dinner last night- always get a compliment from the hubby!

Ham & Grits Casserole-
you'll need : 4 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt (i usually add more !) , 1 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits, 1 cup chopped lean ham, 3 tbsp. reduced calorie margarine, 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 -8 oz. carton egg substitute, cooking spray, 1/2 cup shredded reduced fat cheese.

** Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil ; stir in grits. Cover grits , reduce heat , and simmer for 5 min.

Spoon into a 11x7 baking dish that is coated with cooking spray. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
