Down South-Style Cheese Grits

Source of Recipe

"The Southern Entertainer's Cookbook" by Courtney Whitmore


Recipe Introduction

"I'm from the school of thought that says cheese makes everything better, including grits. Serve them on their own or topped with shrimp."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 cups chicken broth
â—¦ 2 cups 2 percent milk
â—¦ ¾ cup butter, cubed
â—¦ 1 teaspoon salt
â—¦ 1 teaspoon black pepper
â—¦ 1 cup uncooked old-fashioned grits
â—¦ 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese


Recipe

In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth, milk, butter, salt, and pepper to a boil. Slowly stir in grits and reduce heat to medium-low.

Cover and allow to cook for 12 to 13 minutes (or until thickened). Be sure to stir occasionally.

Stir in cheese and keep warm. Top with additional cheese if desired.
