Ingredients Add to grocery list

2 cups water
1 1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Quaker Grits, quick cooking, not instant
1/2 cup butter

Directions

In a small pot, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil.  Slowly stir grits into boiling mixture.  Stir continuously and thoroughly until grits are well mixed.  Let the pot return to a boil, cover pot with a lid, lower the temperature, and cook for approximately 30 minutes stirring occasionally.  Add more water if necessary.

Grits are done when they have the consistency of smooth cream of wheat.

Serve with butter, fruit, or savory with a meal.

So THAT'S the difference between Wanda Thompson's grits and mine! Thanks for sharing such a simple recipe that's simply good! Amazing how a simple food can trigger a good memory. Grits bring a funny memory to us each year as we celebrate our anniversary - 35 and counting! Thanks, again
