Grits

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

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

  2. 2

    Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let the grits cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are thick and creamy, stir in 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 cup of smoked Gouda cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and the grits are smooth.

  4. 4

    Season with black pepper to taste, and adjust salt if necessary. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
