Experience the ultimate creamy and cheesy Cheddar Grits, perfect for both breakfast and dinner. Loaded with sharp cheddar cheese and butter, these grits offer a velvety-smooth texture and the ideal richness to delight your taste buds.
In a large 6-quart sauce pot, combine the whole milk, water, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.
2
Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
3
Once boiling, slowly whisk in the corn grits, making sure there are no clumps.
4
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5
When the grits are tender and have thickened, remove the pot from heat and stir in the unsalted butter and shredded sharp cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined.
6
Taste the grits and adjust seasoning as desired. If the consistency is too thick, stir in a small amount of hot water to reach the preferred creaminess.
7
Serve immediately, as the grits will continue to thicken as they cool.
