Cheese Grits

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups chicken broth ($0.26)

2 cups milk ($1.25)

1/4 tsp garlic powder ($0.02)

1 cup quick cooking grits ($0.49)

1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)

2 Tbsp butter ($0.18)

1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper ($0.02)

4 oz. cheddar, shredded ($1.15)

Directions

Combine the chicken broth, milk, and garlic powder in a medium sauce pot. Place a lid on top and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.

Once boiling, stir in the quick cooking grits and salt. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the grits simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the butter and pepper.

Finally, stir in the shredded cheddar, one handful at a time, until fully melted into the grits. Serve warm.
