Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Liquid

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

2

Add the Grits

Once the water is boiling, gradually whisk in 1 cup of grits to prevent lumps.

3

Cook the Grits

Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

4

Add Milk and Butter

Stir in 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Mix well until everything is combined and creamy.

5

Season to Taste

Add black pepper to taste. If desired, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

6

Serve

Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
