SLOW-COOKER GRITS
Since moving to the South, I have come to love grits! I also love my slow cooker, and I worked to find a way to make perfect grits without stirring on the stovetop. I knew this slow-cooker grits recipe was a winner when my mother-in-law overheard someone at a church potluck say that "it just wasn't right that a Midwesterner could make such good grits!" —Tacy Fleury, Clinton, South Carolina

Steps:
- Combine 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually add the grits, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until tender, about 20 minutes. If the grits seem too thick, thin with water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Stir in the butter and season with pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
SLOW-COOKER GRITS
There is nothing cozier than eating a steaming bowl of grits with your favorite toppings, whether savory or sweet. Stone-ground grits have much more flavor than the regular variety, but they need a little more time and attention to cook them on the stovetop. This recipe skips all the extra work by using a slow cooker, yet still delivers a batch of deliciousness for a crowd.

Steps:
- Add the grits to a medium bowl and cover with water by 2 inches. Stir gently and allow the grits to settle for about 2 minutes. Skim off any bits of grits that have floated to the surface, then drain them in a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the liquid.
- Add the grits to a 6-quart slow-cooker insert with 7 cups of water and 1 tablespoon salt and stir to combine. Cover and cook until the grits are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid but are still loose enough to pour off a spoon, about 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low. Continue to cook, covered, up to 30 minutes more to achieve a thicker consistency.
- Add the milk and butter, stirring to fully combine. Serve immediately with desired toppings, or cover and keep warm for up to 2 hours.

Tips:
- Use the right ratio of grits to liquid. The standard ratio is 1 cup of grits to 4 cups of liquid, but you can adjust this ratio to achieve your desired consistency. For creamier grits, use more liquid. For firmer grits, use less liquid.
- Use salted water or broth to cook the grits. This will help to enhance the flavor of the grits.
- Bring the liquid to a boil before adding the grits. This will help to prevent the grits from clumping.
- Stir the grits frequently while they are cooking. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Cook the grits until they are tender and creamy. This will usually take about 20-30 minutes.
- Season the grits to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as butter, cheese, or hot sauce.
- Serve the grits hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shrimp, bacon, eggs, and fruit.
