COOKING TIME

Creamy Grits

Ingredients

2 1/2 cup Water
1 1/2 cup 1% milk
1/4 tsp. Salt
3/4 cup Yellow grits
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

In a medium sized pot, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil.

Add the grits and whisk to combine.

Decrease the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Whisk occasionally to avoid lumps.

Cook until creamy, about 20-25 minutes, adding more water as necessary to prevent grits from getting too thick.

Once creamy, remove the pot from the heat and mix in the cheese. Serve warm.

If not serving immediately, you may need to add more liquid. Grits will continue to thicken as they sit.
