01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then slowly stir in the grits, making sure to keep stirring so they don’t clump. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the grits simmer until they’re thick and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep stirring as they cook, then set them aside.

Step 2
Next, warm up a skillet over medium-high heat and add the grated SPAM®. Cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned. Drain off any extra grease. Mix half of the cooked SPAM® into the grits along with the diced tomatoes, sour cream, and half of the shredded Cheddar cheese. Spread the grits mixture evenly in your baking dish.

Step 3
Top the casserole with the remaining SPAM® and the rest of the cheese. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until it’s heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool just a bit before serving.

How to serve

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to keep the casserole moist and flavorful. You can also freeze portions for up to one month; just thaw overnight before reheating.
