1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt.
2
Cook the Grits
Gradually whisk in the grits, reducing heat to low. Stir frequently to prevent lumps and sticking.
3
Add Milk and Butter
After about 15-20 minutes, when the grits are creamy and have absorbed most of the water, stir in the milk and butter. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4
Season and Serve
Stir in black pepper to taste and the cheddar cheese until melted. Serve warm.
