Ingredients
3 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups grits (not instant)
1 1/2 cups grated pepper jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
- Bring the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepot. While whisking, slowly pour in the grits and then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
