Old Bay Cheddar Grits Recipe

"These grits are seriously creamy and flavorful from the full cup of freshly grated white cheddar cheese and Old Bay seasoning. The grits are a delicious base for a homemade ragout-like mixture of spicy Andouille sausage, yellow bell pepper, blistered grape tomatoes, and a bit of melted butter to smooth things out. Comfort food at its best!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring often, until browned in places, about 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring often, until vegetables soften, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and salt and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes burst, about 4 minutes. Add butter and cook, stirring constantly, until melted. Cover to keep warm.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring 2 2/3 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Whisk in grits and cook, whisking often, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add cheese and Old Bay and cook, whisking constantly, until cheese melts.
