How To Make home-style cheesy grits

Step 1

Bring water and salt to a boil in medium saucepan; briskly stir in grits until bubbly (Stir quik-being careful not to get hot-splashed! )

Step 2

Cover pan; reduce heat to low. Cook stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes then set aside when finished cooking. ( leftovers can be refrigerated overnight)
Step 3

at this point-add thin sliced cheese stirring cheese slices into hot grits with only minimal amount of stirring for best results.
Step 4

Note: For creamier, thicker grits, cook longer. For thinner grits, add more water. Microwave Directions: ( singer serving): Combine water, salt & grits in medium microwave-safe bowl; cover. Microwave on HIGH power for 3-5 minutes or until thickened (stirring halfway through cooking time). Microwave oven vary; adjust time accordingly.
