Creamy Smoked Gouda & Cheddar cheese grits recipe
Pair the grits with some fried bacon, fried fish or get bold and serve with some smothered pork chops & gravy to make a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Recipe based on 4 Servings:
- 1 Cup Grits
- 3 to 4 Cups Swanson Chicken Broth
- Black Pepper (For taste)
- Splash of Half & Half (Or 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Smoked Gouda Cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 Tbs Unsalted butter
Tips: For thicker grits decrease the broth by 1 cup; for thinner grits increase broth. Cheese: add as much cheese that you like. It’s based on your preference and taste buds.
Instructions
- On medium high heat add the chicken broth to a medium sized pot.
- Allow the chicken broth to come to a slight boil.
- Slowly stir or whisk in the grits.
- Allow the grits to cook for 15 to 20 minutes
- *Note: It’s important that you consistently stir the grits throughout cooking time to prevent burning and having lumpy grits.
- *Note: If the grits start “popping” too much, you can reduce the heat to low & cover with a lid.
- When the grits have thickened up to your desired preference- add some butter, splash of half & half and stir.
- Once the grits are done, add your smoked Gouda & cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt & stir consistently.
- Serve the grits immediately or while hot. Enjoy!
