Share:
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk 2% or whole
- 2 cups water
- 1 ¼ cups old fashioned corn grits (coarse white cornmeal_
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or I like half cheddar and half pepper jack)
Instructions
- Mix the milk, water, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a large 6 quart sauce pot. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, whisk in the grits, until there are no clumps. Lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12-20 minutes, (depending on the package instructions) stirring occasionally.
- Once the grits seem soft and thick, stir in the butter and shredded cheese. Taste, then season as needed.
- If the grits are thicker than desired, stir in another ¼ - ¾ cup water. They will continue to thicken as they cool.
Notes
- You can incorporate any type of cheese you like.
- This recipe is a great make-ahead. Just rewarm on the stovetop with a splash of water or milk.
