To add variety to your grain repertoire, try them! I do urge you to try using stone-ground grits, which are much more flavorful than those sold in supermarkets. However, the latter can't be beat for convenience, especially the quick-cooking kind. 1. Bring 4 3/4 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Slowly sprinkle in the grits, stirring constantly to avoid lumping. Cook over very low heat until smooth and thick, about 25 minutes for stone-ground and 5 minutes for quick grits. 2. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Heat until the cheese is smoothly melted into the grits and serve.
