1 Video | Photo: Creamy Cheese Grits Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 jalapenos, diced
- 1 whole onion, diced
- 1 whole red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cups stone-ground grits
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken (or beef) broth
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups grated Cheddar
Directions
Heat the butter and oil in a pan and add the jalapenos, onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened, 5 minutes or so.
Pour in the grits, followed by the broth and 3 cups water. Stir, and then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and then cover and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the half-and-half. Stir, and then cook until the grits are tender, another 20 to 30 minutes. At any time, add more broth if the grits look like they need more cooking liquid.
Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the cheese. Serve immediately.

Excellent! I started with 8oz of diced bacon, cooked until browned, instead of the butter/oil. Also found I needed more broth. Poured the leftovers onto a sheet pan lined with parchment, chilled, cut into squares and froze wrapped in wax paper then plastic wrap. The squares are very good sauteed in a little ghee until lightly browned.

My husband licked his lips while we were watching Ree prepare this dish! Ree - your show is SO positive and happy that both my husband and I enjoy watching you to start our morning each day. I've printed out several of your recipes and about to try them. You cook like I do - nice and simple and fun - things I know I can make - and we will surely enjoy. Thank you SO much! Annie and Mack
