Southern-Style Cheese Grits Recipe Ingredients 1 Cup Old Fashioned Grits 1/4 Cup Butter 4 Cups Water 1-1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 Tsp Salt 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper Instructions 1. The first thing you’re going to do is get a small pot and fill it up with water. Place the pot of water over medium-high heat and wait for the water to come to a boil 2. Once the water comes to a boil, slowly pour the grits into the center of the pot. Stir the center vigorously as you pour the grits in. Stirring virgorously is what prevents those unppealing lumps. Stir the grits for about 30 to 40 seconds after adding them to the pot, then reduce the heat to low heat. 3. Cover your grits with a lid leaving a small crack on the side. The reason we cover the grits with a lid is so the grits don’t pot all over the place and to help get them nice and tender. 4. Let the grits cook for about 15 minutes or until they are thick and smooth, then cut the fire off. 5. Add your butter, cheese, salt, and pepper, then stir in well until everything is well blended.

A friend of mind from the south shared this easy simple and delicious cheese grits recipe with me and so im going to share it with you all. My father use to make Cheese Grits on Saturday mornings. He would always make a big ole gourmet breakfast on Saturdays and because he knew how to cook so well, like pretty much all of my family does… I enjoyed his cheese grits very much!!! He would always make these as a side dish to fried fish. These are a perfect breakfast or brunch side dish and go well with scrambled eggs and bacon, or salmon patties, but they are just perfect with fried fish… MAANNNNN!!!!
