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