Jalapeno Cheese Grits

Grits are one of my favorite side dishes because they are super creamy and comforting. This side dish is ready in under 10 minutes and packs huge flavor! Serve this with shrimp or sausage and dinner is ready in no time.

  1. Boil milk in a medium saucepan. Slowly stir in grits, salt and pepper.

2. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook 5-7 minutes, or until the grits have thickened.

3. Stir in goat cheese, cheddar, butter and diced jalapeno and remove pan from heat. Serve.
