  • salt, fresh cracked pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Preparation
  • Bring milk, butter or oil, salt pepper and crushed red pepper to boil.
  • Add grits and reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Stir often and until grits are tender and thickening.
  • This will take 30- 40 minutes. Stir in cheese and enjoy.
Comments
  • Serves 4-6
  • Serve for brunch with poached eggs or dinner with your favorite steak.
  • We use stone ground grits which are much coarser and thus take longer to cook, if you are using quick grits you will need to shorten your cooking time
  • I like to use a sharp, flavorful cheese like Simetons Four Year Old Cheddar or Locust Grove's La Mancha, but any of your favorites will work.
