Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.

Gradually add in the white corn grits to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook.

In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until golden and aromatic. Fold in the garlic-butter mixture into the grits for added flavor.

Pour in the remaining evaporated milk into the pot and allow the grits to cook for another 5 minutes until the milk is absorbed. Stir occasionally.

Take off the heat and gradually stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until it's fully melted.
