1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low and cover.
2
Cook the Grits
Cook the grits for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are thick and creamy.
3
Add Milk and Butter
Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of butter until well combined and creamy.
4
Incorporate Cheese
Remove the saucepan from heat and add in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
5
Season and Serve
Add black pepper to taste. Serve warm as a side dish or as a main dish topped with additional cheese or your favorite toppings.
