Instructions

Step 1

Mix the milk, water, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a large 6 quart sauce pot. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, whisk in the grits, until there are no clumps. Lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12-20 minutes, (depending on the package instructions) stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once the grits seem soft and thick, stir in the butter and shredded cheese. Taste, then season as needed.

Step 4

If the grits are thicker than desired, stir in another ¼ – ¾ cup water. They will continue to thicken as they cool.
