Cheesy grits


I've always been a fan of sweet corn, and sweet cornmeal products. I guess I associate corn with sweet flavors mostly. So I usually prepare grits with maple syrup (an amazing meeting of north and south). But these cheesy grits were delicious, and I formed the cold leftovers into cakes to sear in a pan and eat the next day.

Ingredients
2 cups milk
2 cups water
1.5 tsp salt
1 cup grits
black pepper
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz shredded sharp cheddar

Preparation
Bring water, milk, and salt to a boil in a large pot.

Once it's boiling, add the cornmeal and continue whisking. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, on low heat.


Remove from heat, add butter and stir in. Add the cheese and season with black pepper. Serve immediately.
