Easy Creamy Grits: Southern Comfort Food

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Get a pot with a lid on your stove.

Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of water to the pot.

You can also use half heavy whipping cream and half milk or all milk for creaminess.

Add a little bit of butter to the pot while it's cooking (optional).

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, add in 1/2 cup of grits.

Season the grits with a good bit of salt and pepper.

Put the lid on the pot and reduce the heat to low medium.

Let the grits simmer, stirring frequently to prevent lumping.

Cook the grits for at least 15 minutes, even if the package says 5 minutes, to avoid a gritty texture.

Stir every minute or two to keep the grits smooth.

Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the grits reach a creamy texture.

Taste the grits and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Add more butter to the grits if desired.
