1
Prepare the Grits
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly whisk in the Anson Mills grits. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
2
Cook the Grits
Let the grits simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water or milk as needed.
3
Add Dairy and Cheese
Once the grits are creamy and cooked through, stir in the milk and butter. Gradually add the aged white cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
4
Season and Serve
Season with black pepper to taste. Serve warm as a side dish or main dish.
