Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Water

    In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Grits

    Once the water is boiling, stir in 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Grits

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy grits as a side dish or a base for your favorite toppings.
