How to Make Grits

In a large pot add water, milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat while stirring frequently.

Slowly pour in the grits while stirring constantly with a whisk. Turn heat to low and continue to whisk for one minute.

Cover the pan with a lid and stir well every 4 to 5 minutes. Be sure to scrape all along the bottom of the pot to prevent the grits from sticking or burning.

The grits are done when they reach a thick creamy consistency, it should take 25 to 30 minutes.

Pour grits into a serving bowl and top with a slice of butter while hot.

Stir in a cup of your favorite kind of cheese when the grits are completely cooked and still hot.
