Instructions
- In a microwave or in a sauce pan, heat milk to a slight simmer. Add the butter while heating so that the butter melts. This will take about a minute in the microwave and 2 minutes on the stovetop.
- Add the instant grits packet and stir well. Allow to sit for 2 minutes and stir again. The mixture will thicken as it sits.
- Once the grits have thickened to the desired amount, add the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- PRO TIP: Add a dash of garlic powder for more flavor
- PRO TIP 2: Always add your favorite breakfast ingredient to your grits bowl!
- SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Grits - Of course you can substitute coarsely ground grits, 5 Minute Grits or any other kind of grits, but then it will be different directions!
- Milk - you can substitute any milk substitute, but it will taste different. We recommend whole milk, but any percentage works. Evaporated milk mixed half and half with water works well too.
- Butter - Margarine or butter substitute.
- Cheese - Feel free to leave this out or use a cheese substitute.
- Heat the liquid well with the butter in it so that the butter has a chance to really melt well.
- Mix and let stand for a few minutes to allow the grits time to absorb the liquid.
- Add salt and pepper after tasting, sometimes the packet grits are a bit salty on their own.
- Always add that cheese for flavor!
- A single serving is one packet, but I find that it takes two packets to make an amount that comes close to filling me up.
