Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly stir in the grits. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Then, add the sharp cheddar cheese and butter, stirring until melted and well combined.

  3. 3

    Season and Serve

    Season the grits with black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.
