Start the day with a hearty bowl of spicy, cheesy grits for breakfast or pair them with spiced shrimp for a Cajun classic. You’ll love the way the flavor of grits shines through the delicious flavor of pure cheesiness and a hint of peppery spice from a secret ingredient.
1 Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
2 Add the roasted chile peppers, and saute in the butter for a few minutes, until fragrant.
3 Pour the chicken stock and milk into the saucepan and warm over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, but NOT a boil because it will scald your milk.
4 Whisk in the grits, then season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
5 Reduce the heat to low, then cover and cook, stirring often to reduce clumping, until the liquid is absorbed. This will take around 20-30 minutes.
6 Once the liquid has been completely absorbed, add the cream cheese, and stir until that has melted. Add extra salt and pepper, if necessary.
7 Add the shredded cheddar, and stir to combine.
8 Once the cheeses are totally melted, give them a taste and season more, if necessary.
9 Serve warm!
