Cheese Grits

Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken broth ($0.26)
• 2 cups milk ($1.25)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder ($0.02)
• 1 cup quick cooking grits ($0.49)
• 1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)
• 2 Tbsp butter ($0.18)
• 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper ($0.02)
• 4 oz. cheddar, shredded ($1.15)

Instructions

1. Combine the chicken broth, milk, and garlic powder in a medium sauce pot. Place a lid on top and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
2. Once boiling, stir in the quick cooking grits and salt. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let the grits simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the butter and pepper.
4. Finally, stir in the shredded cheddar, one handful at a time, until fully melted into the grits. Serve warm.
