Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal grits (See Note 1)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup milk (any variety of dairy or non-dairy milk. For the creamiest grits, use whole milk.)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne powder ((cayenne pepper))
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese (shredded )
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan add water, milk, salt, cayenne pepper and butter. For creamier grits. Bring contents to a boil over high heat.
  • Add grits to the boiling water 1/4 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook grits for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Whisk in shredded cheese a little at a time until completely incorporated (See Note 2). Cook on low heat for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and black pepper on top.
