Method

Cooking the Grits

1

Boil Water

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

2

Add Grits

Once the water is boiling, slowly stir in 1 cup of grits, making sure to whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

3

Simmer

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Finishing the Grits

4

Add Milk

After the grits have thickened, stir in 1 cup of milk and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

5

Incorporate Cheese

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

6

Season

Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until the butter is melted and all ingredients are combined.
