Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

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

  2. 2

    Add Grits

    Slowly whisk in the grits, reducing the heat to low. Stir frequently to prevent lumps.

  3. 3

    Cook the Grits

    Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are creamy and have absorbed most of the water.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Butter and Cheese

    Once cooked, stir in the butter and then add the cheddar cheese, mixing until fully melted and combined.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Add black pepper to taste, stir well, and serve hot.
