The BEST Cheese Grits
Start the day with a hearty bowl of spicy, cheesy grits for breakfast or pair them with spiced shrimp for a Cajun classic. You’ll love the way the flavor of grits shines through the delicious flavor of pure cheesiness and a hint of peppery spice from a secret ingredient.
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large saucepan
Add the roasted chile peppers, and saute in the butter for a few minutes, until fragrant
Pour the chicken stock and milk into the saucepan and warm over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, but NOT a boil because it will scald your milk
Whisk in the grits, then season generously with salt and pepper to taste
Reduce the heat to low, then cover and cook, stirring often to reduce clumping, until the liquid is absorbed. This will take around 20-30 minutes
Once the liquid has been completely absorbed, add the cream cheese, and stir until that has melted. Add extra salt and pepper, if necessary
Add the shredded cheddar, and stir to combine
Once the cheeses are totally melted, give them a taste and season more, if necessary
Serve warm!
