  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes until the grits are thick and creamy.

    Add Milk and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk and butter. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with black pepper.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the cheese grits into bowls and serve warm as a comforting side dish or main course.
