How to Make Creamy Grits
- In a large pot, heat 4 cups of whole milk and 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until simmering.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits to prevent lumps from forming.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper (or to taste).
- Slowly pour in 2 cups of water while continuously whisking. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the grits reach your desired creamy consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of heavy cream until completely smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Top with your favorite additions like grilled shrimp, ham, cheese, or chives.
