Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Water
  • 1 ½ Cups Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Cups Quick Grits
  • 1 Tsp. Kosher Salt
  • ½ Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup Milk We used 2% Milk

Instructions

  • Start by adding water and vegetable broth to a pan. Bring the liquid to boil over medium heat. 
    Once the liquid starts to boil, slowly add in the grits to the liquid and begin stirring in a circular motion. Reduce the heat slightly to avoid large splashes. Stirring will also prevent the grits from clumping up. 
    Season with salt and pepper. Stir. Cover the grits and allow to cook for about 5 minutes on low heat. Then add in the milk, butter, and add in the cheese.
