1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt. Stir well to avoid clumping.
2
Cook the Grits
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy.
3
Add Milk and Butter
Once the grits are cooked to your desired consistency, stir in 1 cup of milk and 2 tbs of butter until fully combined and creamy.
4
Incorporate Cheese
Gradually add 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper to taste.
5
Garnish and Serve
Finely chop 2 tbs of green onions and sprinkle over the top before serving for added flavor and garnish.
