Quick Stovetop Cheddar Jack Grits

Instructions

In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Add teaspoon salt. Gradually add 1 cups quick-cooking grits, stirring constantly. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until water is absorbed and grits are thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Pour into a nice serving bowl and serve immediately. This is an accompaniment I chose to put on my Mother's Day table. It is very Southern, and I hope you enjoy it! --Betty
