Excellent recipe. I suggest adding 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt to the boiling water and grits. Add a couple big dashes of hot sauce along with butter (1/3 cup butter is ok if you want to cut back some on fats). Good quality sharp or extra sharp cheddar is the classic way to make this, but to change up things try pepper jack. And adding up to a pound of cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon (I've even used chopped pepperoni) is great. I like to sprinkle shredded cheese on top--gives nice appearance when baked.

Yum! Definitely rich but very good. I like that this recipe uses sharp cheddar rather than processed cheese. It just tastes better. Used some leftover evaporated milk, no other changes. Will add a little salt next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These are the best grits I have ever had!! I took the liberty of adding a pound of bulk sausage that was browned with a little onion and two fresh jalapenos to make a main course brunch. I have now gone to grits heaven! Thanks Kizzikate, this is my new favorite breakfast dish!

I got my grits all cooked up & then found I didn't have a drop of milk in the house. I had nothing else to replace it so I just left it out. It was delicious. My bf & I both love grits we'll eat them any way, but this was tops.
