Description

Instant Pot Cheesy Grits --In the South, grits are a must-have breakfast dish. Many Southern cooks make them up for dinner as well.

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 1 cup stone-ground grits
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon butter, for serving

Instructions

  • In your Instant Pot bowl, add the stone-ground grits and butter.
  • Press the saute button and saute the grits, with the butter, (mixing constantly) for about 2-3 minutes, until the grits are slightly toasted.
  • Then mix in the water, heavy cream salt, and pepper. Add the lid, making sure that the vent is in the sealing position.
  • Set the manual high pressure for 10 minutes. When the time is up, do a natural release.
  • When the pin has dropped, and the pressure has been completely released, open the lid, and then stir.
  • Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, until the cheese has melted.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
