- 2 cups beef stock unsalted
- 1 cup ground grits
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- ½ cup water
- crumbled bacon optional topping
- whole kernel corn optional topping
- 4 tablespoons organic butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Gather the tools and ingredients.
- Shred the cheddar cheese.
- Measure the ingredients.
Cooking Instructions
- Add the stock and the butter to a pot large enough for the grits to expand. Turn the heat to medium-high. When the butter begins to melt, add the grits and salt. Stir well, and reduce the heat to low.
- After about 12-15 minutes, the grits will release puffs of steam. Add the cream. Stir well and continue occasionally for the next 12-15 minutes. When the grits start thickening again, add the water. Stir to incorporate.
- Continue stirring occasionally for the next 10 minutes or so. The grits should be super-creamy and delicious. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Turn off the heat. Add the shredded cheddar and incorporate.
- Serve hot, topped with some shredded cheese, bacon crumbles, and a bit of whole-kernel corn. Enjoy!
