How to Make Microwave Grits
- Combine 4 cups of water and 1 cup of coarse ground grits in a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish.
- Microwave on high for 15 minutes.
- Stir gently. If grits are too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until creamy and cooked through.
- Remove from microwave and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese), if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately or use as a base for your favorite grits casserole.
