Southern-Style Cheese Grits Recipe: How To Make The Best Cheesy Cheese Grits

Southern-Style Cheese Grits Recipe: Ingredients 1 Cup Old Fashioned Grits 1/4 Cup Butter 4 Cups Water 1-1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 Tsp Salt 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper Instructions 1. The first thing you’re going to do is get a small pot and fill it up with water. Place the pot of water over medium-high heat and wait for the water to come to a boil 2. Once the water comes to a boil, slowly pour the grits into the center of the pot. Stir the center vigorously as you pour the grits in. Stirring virgorously is what prevents those unppealing lumps. Stir the grits for about 30 to 40 seconds after adding them to the pot, then reduce the heat to low heat. 3. Cover your grits with a lid leaving a small crack on the side. The reason we cover the grits with a lid is so the grits don’t pot all over the place and to help get them nice and tender. 4. Let the grits cook for about 15 minutes or until they are thick and smooth, then cut the fire off. 5. Add your butter, cheese, salt, and pepper, then stir in well until everything is well blended. You’re going to looooove these!!! Enjoy! Cheese grits are definitely southern….. the good thing is you don’t have to be from the south to know how to make some good ole creamy cheese grits. A friend of mind from the south shared this easy simple and delicious cheese grits recipe with me and so im going to share it with you all. My father use to make Cheese Grits on Saturday mornings. He would always make a big ole gourmet breakfast on Saturdays and because he knew how to cook so well, like pretty much all of my family does… I enjoyed his cheese grits very much!!! He would always make these as a side dish to fried fish. These are a perfect breakfast or brunch side dish and go well with scrambled eggs and bacon, or salmon patties, but they are just perfect with fried fish… MAANNNNN!!!! Cheese grits with fried fish equals a MAJOR FOODGASM, SO BE WARNED!!!! These cheesy grits are so cheesy, buttery, and melt right in your mouth… they’re absolutely delicious and you will be making them again after you try this recipe. Follow ths recipe to a T. You’re going to love em.

Great video. But let me break ya'll off somethin proper that will change ya life. Go ahead and bake your bacon extra crispy(then chopped up) Partially cook your eggs(scrambled) then put it in with your creamy cheesy grits. Now let me know what u think. From a southern bratha✊🏾

Wife loved em!! She laughed so hard that I had no idea what a GRIT was but was able to cheese them up beautifully (thanks to YOU!). I literally thought this stuff was sand but she loved my/YOUR sand and said it made her think of her momma's! Thank you PBJ!!

BAAAAABY, I loves me some cheesy grits. YEEEES! That craving MUST be fulfilled...LOL

This was so helpful I literally suck at cooking grits and I made them perfectly today! Thank you 🙏🏽

I’m from California but my mom makes grits just like this, grits have always been my favorite meal since I was a kid!

Made these grits this morning. Absolutely perfect and delicious. THE BEST

I'm from the south and my friend told me to stir them for about 5 minutes to get them even creamier. My other friend uses milk to make them instead of water. Then when cooked, pour them into a 13 x 9 pan and let them cool. They become solid (like the way jello turns from liquid to a solid). Then you cut them into domino shapes, put them in another pan and top with Monterey Jack cheese and melted butter; then bake until golden brown. BEST grits I have ever had!

@ 1:50 Gonna wait till my water comes to a boy-u... Ha

6/19/22: Grits look great, and I will be making them today in honor of the occasion. Happy Father's Day, PBJ!

Absolutely love all his recipes

that plate looks official...to me!!! I'm new to your channel...love love love it

I’m glad he kept it real with how it’s made. Sometimes the best things don’t look picture perfect but it still be good as f. My gma use to serve us breakfast with grits and as we “sat” down she put a square piece of government cheese on top of it. It melts right in still. Bofl.

omggg i love cheese grits. This looks so good....much love from Louisiana❤❤❤

“and by the way this is not meant to be a healthy meal” 😭 that’s how you know it’s good

PhillyBoy, I know you will probably not read this comment since your video was many years ago, but I got to tell you this. Ain't no way with the amount of grits you poured into that little bit of water your grits will not be grainy. For one cup grits you need two cups water and the longer you let them simmer the more plump the grains will cook. Before you add your grits you have to rinse them well until the water runs almost clear. To a rolling pot of water you add the grits and stir them. Personally I like to add chicken broth, a little sweet butter, and milk to the water for flavor and texture. Turn down the heat and let the simmer for at least 45 minutes occasionally stirring them. They will turn out creamy not grainy with a great flavor. You can also stir in cheese just before they are done . Love your channel.

Reminds me of my dad’s cooking. So good 😊
