Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water, half-and-half, pepper, garlic powder and salt to a simmer over medium.

Step 2

Slowly add grits while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Cook grits over medium-low, checking every 3 or 4 minutes and giving the grits a stir, until they’re smooth, creamy and have little to no bite, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat, and stir in butter and cheese. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve hot with scrambled eggs, bacon or on its own.
