Prepare the Grits
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.

Slowly whisk in 1 cup of stone-ground grits to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low.

Cook the Grits
Cover the pot and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thickened and tender.

Once the grits are cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

Season and Serve
Season with black pepper to taste and serve hot.
