Ingredients
3 cups water
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick cooking grits
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Pour the water and milk into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the Creole seasoning and salt, stirring well to combine. Place over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
While whisking constantly, pour the grits in a slow, steady stream to prevent lumping. Once all the grits are incorporated, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter and shredded Cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated. Serve immediately while hot.
