Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth $0.26
- 2 cups milk $1.25
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1 cup quick cooking grits $0.49
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.18
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper $0.02
- 4 oz. cheddar, shredded $1.15
Instructions
- Combine the chicken broth, milk, and garlic powder in a medium sauce pot. Place a lid on top and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
- Once boiling, stir in the quick cooking grits and salt. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the grits simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the butter and pepper.
- Finally, stir in the shredded cheddar, one handful at a time, until fully melted into the grits. Serve warm.
