1
Boil Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add Grits
Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of grits and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to prevent lumps.
3
Simmer Grits
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the grits to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are thick and creamy.
4
Add Cheese and Butter
Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter. Mix until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
5
Season
Taste the grits and add black pepper to taste. Adjust salt if necessary.
