1 Tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
2 Tablespoons diced onion
2 Tablespoons chopped pimentos
¼ cup chopped green pepper
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1 cup cooked pinto beans
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon chili powder
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon whole wheat flour
2 cups milk
1 cup yellow corn grits
1 ½ cups grated cheese
Sauté onion in oil til tender; stir in next five ingredients and heat through. Melt butter in saucepan, stir in flour; slowly add milk and grits. Stir until thick, mix in vegetables and one cup cheese. Pour into square baking dish. Sprinkle with ½ cup cheese and bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes.
Notes: I did not add the pimentos, green pepper or corn, but added canned chopped chilis instead. AND HAVEN ATE IT! I believe this dish also needs salt and pepper to taste. We did not The box says you can use soy milk and I imagine you could probably use soy cheese to make a vegan dish?
