Grits can't be hurried. Start with stone-ground grits, not instant, and cook slowly, stirring, adding the cheese just before serving. Delicious with scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

Uncooked white corn grits

½ cup(s), stone-ground

Fat free evaporated milk

½ cup(s), divided

Table salt

½ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

tsp, or to taste

Shredded reduced fat Mexican-style cheese

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot and slowly stir in grits; reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup milk, salt and pepper; reduce heat to low and cook until milk is absorbed and grits thicken slightly, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup milk; cook, stirring occasionally, until milk is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove pot from heat and gradually stir in cheese; serve immediately.
  4. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.

Notes

Sprinkle with salt before serving, if desired.
