Grits Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil.

  2. 2

    Add the Grits

    Slowly whisk in the corn grits, reducing the heat to low. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

  3. 3

    Cook the Grits

    Cover the saucepan and let the grits cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  4. 4

    Finish with Butter and Cheese

    Once cooked, remove the grits from heat and stir in the butter and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Add black pepper to taste, and serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
