Cheese Grits

Easy and creamy, these grits are the perfect side to serve with grilled shrimp.

Ingredients :

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water or milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grits not instant or stone-ground
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup butter
  • heavy whipping cream optional

Directions :

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water, chicken broth, garlic powder, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • While whisking, slowly add the grits and salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 18-20 minutes or thick and creamy (or follow the times listed on your grits package).
  • Remove from the heat and stir in cheese and butter until melted. (Add a little bit of heavy cream if desired).
