A delightful take on classic cheddar grits, enhanced with a touch of garlic and a hint of paprika for added flavor.
Combine the milk and water in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high until it begins to boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching at the bottom.
Gradually whisk in the grits, ensuring no lumps form. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whisking continuously at the beginning helps achieve a smooth texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika until well combined and the cheese is melted.
Adding the cheese off the heat prevents it from becoming stringy.
Serve the grits warm, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika or additional cheese if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best creamy consistency.
