How to Make Awesome Buttery Grits With Corn

  1. Melt 1 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of whole kernel corn.
  2. Season the corn with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Sauté for 15-20 minutes, or until the corn is lightly browned and slightly caramelized.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup (or more, to taste) of butter, the sautéed corn, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the grits are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
