Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the grits. This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning.
  • Season the grits with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Cook the grits over low heat, stirring frequently. This will help to prevent them from becoming lumpy.
  • Once the grits are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them sit for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow them to thicken up.
  • Serve the grits with your favorite toppings, such as butter, milk, cheese, or bacon.
