Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Liquid

    In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Grits

    Once the water is boiling, slowly whisk in the grits to avoid clumping.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Add black pepper to taste, then serve warm as a side dish or breakfast.
