Old Fashioned To Die For Cheese Grits Food

THE CREAMIEST CHEESE GRITS RECIPE

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.
