Let's Get Started:
1. Bring 4 cups water to a rapid boil in a heavy saucepan (you may start with 3 cups and add the 4th as needed while cooking—this may reduce cook time but will require a closer eye and more stirring).
2. Add 1 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp butter.
3. Add 1 cup grits and stir well until the water boils again.
4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and continue cooking for about 25 minutes, stirring often and adding water if needed.
Cheese Pairing:
Aged white cheddar brings sharpness that highlights Jimmy Red’s rich, nutty-sweet depth.
Finish
Stir in 1½ cups grated aged white cheddar and ¼ cup heavy cream at the end of cooking. Top with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and a pat of butter.
