1
Measure Ingredients
Start by measuring out all the ingredients. You will need 1 cup of Weisenberger corn grits, 4 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of butter. If you're using optional ingredients, prepare 1 cup of cheddar cheese, black pepper to taste, and 2 stalks of green onions.

2
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Add Salt
Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and stir to dissolve.
4
Add Grits
Slowly pour in 1 cup of Weisenberger corn grits while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
5
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they reach a creamy consistency.

6
Add Butter
Once the grits are cooked, remove the pot from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and incorporated.
7
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Season with black pepper to taste. Chop the green onions and sprinkle them on top for garnish.
8
Serve
Serve the Weisenberger grits hot as a side dish or a base for shrimp, sautéed vegetables, or fried eggs.
