Savory Cream of Wheat image

In my early 20's, I lived with some southern belles in Alaska! They were crazy for grittes with butter and cheese, but they couldn't find grittes in Alaska - so they would cook up a batch of Cream of Wheat and add butter and cheese. I loved the result and have passed it on to my husband and sons who also love this savory treat...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 c cream of wheat
1 2/3 c water, boiling
1/2 c cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Using a wire whip, gradually whip cereal into the boiling water. Stir constantly.
  • 2. Reduce the heat and allow to boil until thick. Only takes a few minutes.
  • 3. Add shredded cheese and butter. Any favorite cheese will do, but I prefer sharp cheddar.
  • 4. Serve immediately. Makes two medium size bowls. This recipe multiplies well 3 or 4 times the original.
