Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits, reducing the heat to low. Cook while stirring frequently for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are thickened and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, remove the pot from heat and mix in the white cheddar cheese and butter until melted and creamy.

  3. 3

    Season and Serve

    Season the grits with black pepper to taste. Ladle the white cheddar grits into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
