Step 1

Add grits, garlic powder, water, salt and pepper to the inner pot.

Step 2

Place the lid on, and set the pressure valve to sealing; cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Allow the pot to naturally release - mine took about 16 minutes

Step 4

Stir the grits, and use the back of your spoon pressed against the pot to break up any lumps.

Step 5

Stir in milk, butter and cheese.

Step 6

If the grits are too thin, you can turn on sauté to cook them a little longer, stirring frequently. If the grits are too thick, add more milk or water, and stir to combine until desired consistency.

Step 7

Taste test, and add more salt, pepper, cheese or butter as you wish.

Step 8

Serve immediately.
