Ingredients
- 1 cup stone-ground grits
- 4 cup water
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- 1
Spray your crock-pot or slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- 2
Add the grits, water, and salt and set your timer to cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- 3
Stir well and, if possible, don't stir again until at about the 4-hour mark.

When the grits are done, stir well and season to taste with pepper and additional salt. If the grits seem too thick, add more water or milk and stir until creamy. (I like my grits on the thin side, but this is a matter of personal preference.)

Add the cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately and, if desired, top with a pat of butter, additional shredded cheese and/or crumbled bacon.
