1
Prepare the Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Add Grits and Salt
Once the water is boiling, stir in 1 cup of stone-ground grits and 1 tsp of salt.
3
Cook the Grits
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the grits, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are thick and creamy.

4
Combine Cheese and Cream
In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
5
Incorporate Gouda
Once the cream is simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of shredded gouda cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

6
Combine Grits and Cheese
Once the grits are cooked, pour the cheese mixture into the pot with the grits. Stir well to combine and ensure that the grits are fully coated with the cheese.
7
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the gouda grits and add additional salt if needed, stirring well to incorporate.
8
Serve
Spoon the gouda grits into bowls and serve warm, enjoying as a comforting side dish or a delicious main course.
