Cheese Grits
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of quick-cooking grits

- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and butter to taste
Steps:
- Boil the Water/Broth: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil. (Visual: A pot with bubbling water/broth.)
- Cook the Grits: Whisk in the grits and a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Stir occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. (Visual: Grits being whisked into boiling water, then simmering.)
- Add Cheese: Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese and a tablespoon of butter until melted and smooth. (Visual: Melting cheese into the hot grits, showcasing the creamy texture.)
