True Grits (That’s Cheesy Grits, Pardner!)

Sometimes, nothing is going to do except a very simple bowl of warm and creamy. Simple, beautiful and incredibly comforting.

Ingredients:

3 ¼ cups water
1 cup old fashioned grits
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
2 ounces processed American cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Place the water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook about 12 minutes or until thick and creamy, stirring often. Add in the milk, cover again and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Stir every so often.

Add the seasonings and cheeses and cook for 2-3 more minutes or until cheeses melt.
