Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt and grits to the boiling water. Stir well to prevent clumping.

Cook the Grits

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

Add Jalapeños and Cheese

Stir in the diced jalapeños, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.

Season to Taste

Add black pepper and additional salt if needed. Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your spice preference.

Serve

Serve warm as a side dish or a comforting main course.
