Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup grits
- ½–1 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
- Butter or margarine
- Grated cheddar cheese
Directions
Bring the water to a boil in a 1–2 quart saucepan .
Add the grits, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally until until grits begin to thicken.
Cover and continue to cook on low heat for about 5–6 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. If the grits become too thick, stir in a small amount of water.
Adjust the seasoning before serving, adding black pepper to taste.
Serve with a pat of margarine, butter, or grated cheese on top.
