The ingredients for Cheese (& Pumpkin) Grits are:

6 cups water
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups grits
1 pound Velveeta light, cubed
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin

Here is how you make Cheese (& Pumpkin) Grits:

In a large pan, bring water, salt and butter to a boil. Once it is boiling, add the grits while stirring and cook until the mixture is thick. When it is thick, add the eggs and Velveeta and stir until the cheese is melted. Towards the end, it is best to stir with a whisk until you are sure the lumps of Velveeta are gone. Stir in pumpkin. Pour into a greased, 9x13 pan. Bake for 90 minutes at 250 degrees. I do this in a crockpot on low at Thanksgiving so my oven is available for my other side dishes that need a higher temperature. This makes about 24 half cup servings. It's cheesy, delicious, and my kids don't know I've hidden a vegetable in it. I am experimenting to lower the amount of butter which I expect to be successful.
