1
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add the Grits
Once the water is boiling, slowly whisk in 1 cup of stone ground grits to prevent clumping.
3
Season and Simmer
Add 1 tsp of salt, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pot. Let the grits simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are thick and creamy.

4
Incorporate Cream and Butter
Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tbs of unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
5
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Mix in 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese and 1 tsp of black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
6
Garnish
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the creamy grits before serving.
