1
Prepare the Grits
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of grits and 1 tsp of salt, stirring well. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.
2
Melt the Cheese Mixture
While the grits are cooking, in a separate saucepan, melt 2 tbs of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Combine Cheese and Grits
Once the garlic is fragrant, add 4 oz of cream cheese and 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese to the saucepan, stirring until melted and smooth. Add the cheese mixture to the cooked grits, along with 1 tsp of black pepper. Stir until well combined.
4
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or main course.
