1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.

Add the Grits
Gradually stir in the stone-ground grits, reducing the heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.
3
Incorporate Milk and Cheese
Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, add the sharp cheddar cheese and butter, stirring until melted and well combined.

Season to Taste
Add black pepper and more salt if needed, stirring to incorporate. Serve hot.
