Method

Cooking the Grits

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

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

  2. 2

    Add Salt

    Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

  3. 3

    Stir in Grits

    Slowly whisk in 1 cup of grits to the boiling water to prevent clumps from forming.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Add Butter and Cheese

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

  2. 6

    Season

    Add black pepper to taste and mix well.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Chop the green onions and sprinkle them on top of the grits before serving.
