Ingredients:
2 c. whole milk2 c. water
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. coarse ground cornmeal
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 oz. Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Directions: Place the milk, water and salt
into a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once
the milk mixture comes to a boil, gradually add the cornmeal while continually
whisking. Once all of the cornmeal has been incorporated, decrease the heat to
low and cover. Remove lid and whisk frequently, every 3 to 4 minutes, to prevent
grits from sticking or forming lumps. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until mixture
is creamy. Remove from the heat, add the
pepper and butter and whisk to combine. Once the butter is melted, gradually
whisk in the cheese a little at a time. Serve immediately. Great winter
comforter. ~ Chef ~
