Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the salt and gradually whisk in the corn grits to avoid lumps.

  2. 2

    Cook the Grits

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Add Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese (optional)

    If desired, stir in the cheddar cheese until melted for a cheesy version of grits.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grits warm, either plain or with additional cheese on top.
