Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the grits seem soft and thick, stir in the butter and shredded cheese. Taste, then season as needed.
- If the grits are thicker than desired, stir in another ¼ - ¾ cup water. They will continue to thicken as they cool.

CREAMY GRITS FROM SCRATCH
These ultra creamy and luscious grits (which, by the way, can also be called polenta!) are a fabulous side dish or bed for meats, fish or vegetables (try them with these coconut-sriracha shrimp with kale-click HERE to get the recipe!). They're also a wonderful accompaniment to a traditional Southern-style breakfast. The grits are naturally rich so don't require much butter, but feel free to add more (or less) to taste. You can also throw in a handful or two of shredded cheddar or grated Parmesan to make cheesy grits. Don't miss the tips and video above! Also, be sure to buy whole grain grits or polenta (stoneground, if you can find them), not the instant kind. Bob's Red Mill is a trustworthy supermarket brand.

Steps:
- In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the water and milk and bring it to a boil (keep an eye on the pot, as the milk can boil over!). Season the liquid generously with salt, then whisk in the grits. Bring the mixture back to a boil while whisking. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes, or until the grits are slightly thickened (the mixture will still be quite liquidy, and that's okay).
- Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the saucepan (there should be a small crack so that some steam can escape). Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the grits are tender and thickened, about 30-40 minutes (they should feel soft on the tongue, not gritty). Feel free to splash in more milk as needed while cooking if the grits start to look really thick-they should be creamy and should swirl easily. Stir in the butter. Season the grits generously with salt (this is key for flavor-you will need more than you think!).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it until you're ready to serve, up to 30 minutes. If you want to hold the grits for longer, drizzle a bit of milk over the surface before covering (this will help prevent a skin from forming)-they can sit out for up to 1 hour. Before serving, reheat the grits over low, stirring and adding more milk if needed.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and oil in a pan and add the jalapenos, onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened, 5 minutes or so.
- Pour in the grits, followed by the broth and 3 cups water. Stir, and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and then cover and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the half-and-half. Stir, and then cook until the grits are tender, another 20 to 30 minutes. At any time, add more broth if the grits look like they need more cooking liquid.
- Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- 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; make sure to get into corners of pot when whisking. Cook for 20 to 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.

- Reduce to a simmer and add grits. Simmer over medium low heat for about 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and grits are very thick. Grits should pull away from the side of the pot when you stir it.
- If grits get too thick (they thicken as they cook further and as they sit), you can stir in more water, milk, or cream to thin them out to your desired consistency.
