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.  

Method
 

  1. On medium high heat add the chicken broth to a medium sized pot.
  2. Allow the chicken broth to come to a slight boil.
  3. Slowly stir or whisk in the grits.
  4. Allow the grits to cook for 15 to 20 minutes
  5. *Note: It’s important that you consistently stir the grits throughout cooking time to prevent burning and having lumpy grits.
  6. *Note: If the grits start “popping” too much, you can reduce the heat to low & cover with a lid.
  7. When the grits have thickened up to your desired preference- add some butter, splash of half & half and stir.
  8. Once the grits are done, add your smoked Gouda & cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt & stir consistently.
  9. Serve the grits immediately or while hot. Enjoy!
