In a medium Dutch oven, bring 4 1/2 cups of water and the salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Gradually sprinkle in the grits, whisking constantly. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, whisking often, until the grits have thickened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the cheese until completely melted. Stir in the half and half, eggs and bacon mixture from the skillet, along with the drippings. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
