How to Make Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to a rolling boil.
  2. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the grits are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded smoked Gouda cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the grits have reached your desired consistency. For extra creamy grits, add a splash more milk.
  6. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
  7. Easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings!
