1
Boiling Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Cooking Grits
Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt. Stir well to prevent lumps.
3
Simmering
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are thick and creamy.

4
Adding Cream and Butter
Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix until well combined and creamy.
5
Adding Cheese
Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated into the grits.

6
Toppings
Spoon the creamy grits into bowls and top with 1 cup of cooked bacon and 0.5 cups of chopped green onions.
7
Serving
Add hot sauce to taste and serve immediately while hot.
