- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large bowl.
- In the bowl, whisk together 4 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of coarse ground grits, ensuring no lumps form.
- Pour the mixture into your greased slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the grits are creamy and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
