I love this recipe and Grange is a dear friend of mine. I had loss the recipe or more likely put it somewhere that I can not remember . So instead of calling Grange I looked up Swiss cheese grits casseroles and was surprised to fine Grange’s online!
It is a small world!
Jean, I am so glad that I had the recipe here! Grange and her family have “adopted” my Citadel cadet! They are dear people!
