Crock Pot Cheese Grits

Published: Jun 12, 2014 · This post may contain affiliate links

One of John's favorite things is grits. Being a Northwest girl I am going to admit that I had no clue what grits were before getting married. Now I love surprising John with Crock Pot Cheese Grits.

Crock Pot Cheese Grits

These slow cooker Cheese Grits are so dang easy to make and they turn out fantastic!

My dear Husband grew up in the South and loves Southern food.

Every time we visit the South we have to eat as much Southern food as is humanely possible while we are there. Some days I think he goes for the record of eating every type of Southern Food possible.

One thing to know is if you let them sit in the crockpot for too long without stirring you end up with Crock Pot Cheese Grits Cake. The grits firm up and form a cake which actually doesn't taste too bad either.

Some days I let them firm up and cut them like bread so we can have them as a side dish.

We also love making Crockpot Shrimp and Grits. John would happily have grits every day if he could.

Crock Pot Cheese Grits

Ingredients

You can change this recipe up by using different types of cheese when making the slow cooker grits. Gouda cheese pairs amazing with grits. They truly taste amazing.

    This looks delicious, and I plan on making this as a side to our Christmas Eve dinner. I had a couple of questions if that's ok.

    I was a little confused about the instructions. Do you just add the grits, broth, and butter cook for four hours then add the egg and cheese and cook for an additional four hours? Or do you put all ingredients in the crock pot and then cook for a total of four hours?

    Also, as a side dish, how many people would this serve?

    Thanks so much!
