Ingredients:

Serving

5 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups uncooked quick-cooking grits
1/2 (8-oz) block sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/2 (8-oz) block monterey jack cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

Bring 5 cups water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in grits; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in Cheddar cheese and remaining ingredients until cheese is melted and mixture is blended. Serve immediately.
*Stone-ground grits may be substituted. Increase liquid to 6 cups, and increase cook time to 50 minutes.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used White Lily Quick Grits.
