Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup stone-ground grits Do not use Instant Grits, example brand Trader Joe's
  • 2 ½ cups milk or non-dairy milk, divided
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter, plus more to serve
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 ounces cheese shredded, such as cheddar, Parmesan, gouda or vegan cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. Spray or brush oil into slow cooker basin. (Don't skip this step!)Add grits, 2 cups milk, water, butter, and salt.
  2. Cook on low 6-8 hours.How thick the grits are after cooking will depend on a few things, such as the fat content of your milk and the specific type of grits used.If your grits are not thick after 8 hours, stir and let them cook a few more minutes on high until thickened.
  3. Add the remaining ¼ cup milk, and stir in the cheese (if using). Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.Leftovers: These grits are best served right away, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and served within 2-3 days. Note that the grits will thicken substantially when chilled. When reheating, stir in extra milk, cream, or yogurt to rehydrate the grits.
