Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups stone ground grits
  • 7 cups water
  • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, sliced
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Place 2 cups stone ground grits, 7 cups water, 1 Tablespoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper into a 6-quart or similar-sized slow cooker, and stir to combine.
  • Top with ½ cup unsalted butter, sliced and place on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to an hour, if possible.
  • Once done, stir well, then stir in ½ cup heavy cream. Continue to cook for 15 more minutes to warm up the cream.
  • Serve immediately with more salt, pepper and butter, if desired.

Notes

Please refer to my Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions. You can also stir in cheese right at the end for cheese grits. Reheat in the slow cooker, microwave, or stovetop. They will solidify as they cool down, so I suggest adding more water or cream to loosen them up. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, freeze for up to 3 months.
