Delectable Slow Cooker Grits

This is my favorite way to make grits. So simple! Just a little prep work and then let the slow cooker turn your grits into a delicious, smooth base for any dish. Season as you wish with cheese, bacon, chives, pepper, etc.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 cups water
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon butter, or to taste
• 2 cups quick-cooking grits
• 1 cup milk (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place water and grits into the bottom of a slow cooker. Let grits settle to the bottom; use a strainer to fish out any grits that float to the top. Add salt. Stir or whisk well.

Step 2

Cover and let cook on High for 2 hours, stirring well after 1 hour to avoid clumps.

Step 3

Stir in milk, heavy cream, and butter. Mix well. Cover and continue to cook on High until grits have a fairly thick, creamy, uniform consistency, about 30 minutes more.
