Cook Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
