Description

A comforting dish that brings family together, creamy Southern grits feature a rich, velvety texture perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup grits
  • 4 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Cheese (optional, such as cheddar or parmesan)


Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of grits, then reduce the heat to low.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the grits are thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Stir in the milk and butter, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Optionally, stir in cheese until melted if desired.
  6. Serve warm.

Notes

For a richer taste, consider using chicken broth instead of water. Adding cheese at the end can enhance creaminess.
