I will tell you straight up, I don’t like grits. I have had them dozens of times since I have moved to the south and they usually just don’t appeal to me. But, these easy cheese grits are GOOD! They are not low fat or in any way good for you but they taste heavenly! I tried to balance the rest of the meal by serving sauteed shrimp, steamed broccoli, and fresh blueberries. Don’t skimp on the cream, butter, and cheese! This is a quick recipe…only takes about 5 minutes!
What are Grits?
Grits are an iconic southern dish. They date back as far as the 16th century. Originally, they made by drying corn kernels and boiling them to create a mush. Now, we just buy ground corn, cook it in a heavenly combination of cream and stock, and add cheese and butter for more richness and flavor.
Honestly, skip the plain grits. Go with the ones full of cream, cheese and butter. You will LOVE THEM!
Southern Food Done Right
I have had a ton of opportunities to try southern food over the years. We love the Alton Brown cookbooks for southern recipes. If you want a taste of the south, try these other recipes as well:

I love cheese grits so much!! I haven’t had them in quite a while, but have been craving them lately. I am from PA, but my grandparents are from the south and they always used to make them. Makes me really miss them!!
