Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups regular grits -- (NOT quick or instant)

6 cups water

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt -- (to 1 tsp)

4 ounces mild green chiles -- (to 6 ounces)

1 jalapeno chile pepper -- (to 2) seeded & finely chopped

1 dash cayenne -- (optional)

6 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese -- stirred in at the end

 

Combine all ingredients except the cheese in the crockpot and cook on LOW for 6

to 8 hours or on HIGH 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. If cooking on high,

add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more water if it gets too thick.

 

Just like cornmeal mush or polenta, you can serve right away or you can

refrigerate the mixture in a buttered loaf pan for a few hours or overnight,

unmold, slice (1/2-inch)and fry in butter until browned. It can be served with a

cream or tomato gravy, cheese, or a sweet topping.
