Ingredients
- 1 cup stone-ground grits
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup roasted green chilies, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess)
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water and 1 cup of whole milk to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the stone-ground grits, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir frequently to prevent the grits from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Cook the grits for 15-20 minutes, or until they are thick and creamy. Add more water or milk if needed to maintain the desired consistency.
Step 5
While the grits are cooking, dice the roasted green chilies if not already done.
Step 6
Once the grits are fully cooked, stir in the unsalted butter, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and well combined.
Step 7
Add the diced roasted green chilies, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to blend the flavors evenly.
Step 8
If you prefer extra creamy grits, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream at this stage.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 10
Remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let the grits sit for about 5 minutes to thicken further.
Step 11
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or standalone meal. Enjoy your Bonnell's Roasted Green Chili Cheese Grits!
