Best Hot Buttered Grits Recipes

HOT BUTTERED GRITS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, over high heat, bring water to a boil. Stir in grits and salt and bring to second boil, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
• 2. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and serve.
• 3. If 1 Tbsp. butter seems too much for you, reduce the amount. I happen to like lots of butter. Another way to serve grits is with maple syrup, or with sugar added.

GRITS WITH BROILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water and salt to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Stirring constantly, add grits in a slow, steady stream. Lower heat to maintain a rapid simmer and cook, stirring, until water is absorbed and grits are smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter and 1 1/2 cups cheddar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Divide grits among six small, shallow, ovenproof bowls. Sprinkle evenly with bacon and top with a tomato slice. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Transfer bowls to a rimmed baking sheet and broil until cheese melts and is bubbling, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

CREAMY GRITS

Steps:

• Bring the cream, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 3 cups water to a simmer in a medium pot. While whisking, slowly pour in the grits. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits are tender and creamy, about 20 minutes. Serve topped with a pat of butter.
