Cómo preparar Barefoot Contessa's Creamy Cheddar Grits
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt, then slowly whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits in a thin, steady stream. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low, and continue stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the grits begin to thicken.
- Stir in 2 cups of half-and-half and 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are incredibly smooth and creamy. The texture should be luxuriously creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
