Cheesy Grits

One of my favorite foods are grits! From butter grits, cheesy grits, grit bread, and grit pie. Since, I promised y'all a cheesy grit recipe in my last blog. It's time to rattle your pans folks and lets start cooking. When cooking grits the rules are "never leave them", continuously stir them and season, (salt) in the beginning. I like Quaker instant grits, but that is your choice. I make around 6 to 7 cups of grits in this recipe.



You will need the following:

3 c. of water

1/2 c. heavy cream

1 1/2 c. grits

1 can of celery soup

1/2 tsp. salt

1 stick of butter

1 c of shredded mild Cheddar cheese



In a large sauce pan put water, butter, and can of celery soup. Bring these items to a boil while stirring. Then add your instant grits, and salt. Continue stirring the grit mixture on high heat. The grits will bubble up so be careful not to get burnt. When the grits get thicken, or firm lower your heat to low. Then add your heavy cream and cheese, and fold into the grits. Let the cheese melt and your ready to serve! I suggest serve with fried chicken, fried catfish, and don't forget your greens/corn bread.



(BUTTER GRITS)

If you are like my daddy butter grits only! Don't insult your grits by adding. In your sauce pan put 3 cups water, 1 stick of butter, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 cup grits. Then bring to a boil and continue to stir mixture till thick and firm.

I hope y'all will enjoy these grit recipes as much as I do.

Please take the time share your thoughts/comments. If there is a favor recipe you would like to share that would be grateful. So as we say down south "y'all come back" to visit.
