Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a medium-sized pot over medium heat and wait for it to melt. Add in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, or until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Pour in the broth and milk to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir in grits and bring back to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Once the grits are cooked, mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cheddar cheese, salt and black pepper, to taste. Serve with finely chopped green onions or parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- How to prep ahead of time: You can shred the cheese a day or two in advance.
- How to store: Place the cheesy grits in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
- How to freeze: Seal leftover cheese grits in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 to 4 months.
- How to reheat: The grits can be warmed in the oven or in a pan on the stove. You may need to stir in extra broth, water, or milk to thin the girts back out.
