1
Prepare the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the salt.
2
Add the Grits
Once the water is boiling, slowly whisk in the grits to avoid lumps.
3
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Add Butter and Cheese
Once the grits are thick and creamy, remove from heat and stir in the butter and cheddar cheese (if using) until melted and well combined.
5
Season and Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning with black pepper and additional salt if needed. Serve warm.
