Smoked Gouda Grits

Grits!  So many people I talk with have never even tried grits.  I feel a little bit like I'm in that scene in "My Cousin Vinny" when they are eating breakfast in the restaurant and they don't know what grits are, and I'm the dumbfounded diner cook trying to describe grits to them.  They are the perfect side for my Tennessee Whiskey Pork Chops.  The cheesy creaminess works really well with the glazed pork chops and is easy to throw together while the pork chops are finishing.  This recipe is simple, but tastes fancy.  Enjoy!


Ingredients
32 oz chicken broth
2 c milk (I used whole for extra creaminess)
1 tsp salt
2 c quick cooking grits
1 2/3 c shredded smoked gouda cheese
3 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions
Bring chicken broth, milk, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan and slowly whisk in grits. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese and butter, stirring until melted.

That's it.  So simple, and delicious.  If you didn't like grits before, I think you will like these.
