Ingredients
4 cups milk
Salt and pepper
1 cup grits
1.5-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese)
(For a smaller portion: 3 cups milk, 3/4 cup grits, 1 or 1.5 cups shredded cheddar)
Stovetop method:
Bring milk to a gentle boil. Add salt and pepper.
Add grits and cook until milk is absorbed, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and cheese.
Microwave method:
In a large glass bowl, combine grits, milk, salt, and pepper. Place bowl on a microwave-safe plate (in case it overflows).
Microwave on High for 2 minutes at a time, stirring to combine and remove lumps between microwave sessions.
After about 6-8 minutes (in 2-minute bursts), the grits will have absorbed most of the milk.
At that point, add the shredded cheese and stir to combine. The cheese will melt.
Microwave on High for 2 more minutes and stir until cheese is mixed evenly throughout.
Serve immediately.
