Grits with Cheese

1. 1

   Place the milk, water, and salt into a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Once the milk mixture comes to a boil, gradually add the hominy while continually whisking.

3. 3

   Once all of the hominy has been incorporated, decrease the heat to low and cover.

4. 4

   Remove lid and whisk frequently, every 3 to 4 minutes, to prevent grits from sticking or forming lumps; make sure to get into corners of pot when whisking.

5. 5

   Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until mixture is creamy.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat, add the pepper and butter, and whisk to combine.

8. 8

   Serve immediately.
