I've made this many times and it's fabulous. I sometimes use half Velveeta and half sharp white Vermont cheddar, or all Velveeta in the grits and sprinkle shredded white cheddar on top. Also, a few dashes of Tobasco instead of cayenne add a wonderful flavor. This a holiday staple for our family and we also use this for shrimp and grits.

Making this recipe for years minus the cayenne and using one stick of butter. I'm always asked to bring this to family functions.
