Grits

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and then slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits to prevent clumping.

  2. 2

    Simmer

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese and butter until melted and well combined.

  4. 4

    Season

    Season with black pepper to taste and serve warm.
