[Life: Make] Super Cheesy Grits
I’m not sure life would be complete without cheese grits. I’ve tried everyone’s recipe and (ironically) one of my favorites comes from Alton Brown. Try it. It’s easy and totally delicious.
Ingredients
2 cups of water
2 cups of whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded
4 ounces Jalapeno Jack, shredded (this is my addition - I like super cheesy)
Directions
Place the milk, water, and salt into a big pot over med high heat and bring to a boil. Once comes to a boil, gradually add the cornmeal while continually whisking. Once all of the cornmeal is in, decrease the heat to low and cover. Whisk frequently, every 3 to 4 minutes, to prevent grits from sticking or becoming lumpy. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until mixture is creamy.
Remove from the heat, add the pepper and butter, and whisk. Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the cheese a little at a time. Eat right away.
