Ingredients
- 1 cup stone-ground grits
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once boiling, whisk in the stone-ground grits slowly to prevent clumping.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the grits do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, and salt, and continue to cook the grits for another 5-7 minutes until they reach your desired creamy consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until it is fully melted and integrated.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter and ground black pepper, stirring until the butter is melted and the flavors are combined.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a warm, creamy side dish. Enjoy!
