Cheddar Casserole

In a small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons margarine over moderate heat.

When foam subsides, add the onion and cook 4 or 5 minutes until translucent but not brown.

Bring 2 cups water to boil in 1 quart pan.

Add salt and slowly pour in grits, without allowing water to stop boiling.

Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to medium and cook 2 minutes.

Add the onions, Worcestershire and Tabasco, a little black pepper and 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar combined with 3 tablespoons soft butter.
