1
Prepare the Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.

Add Grits and Salt
Once the water is boiling, stir in 1 cup of grits and 1 teaspoon of salt. Reduce the heat to low.
3
Cook the Grits
Cover the pan and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

Add Butter
Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.
5
Incorporate Cheeses
Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 4 ounces of cream cheese to the hot grits. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and well combined.
