Cheese Grits, Cooked
Cheese grits are a Southern U.S. staple dish made from ground hominy (alkali-treated corn) simmered into a creamy porridge and enriched with melted cheese, typically cheddar. This savory preparation balances the corn’s mild sweetness with rich, tangy cheese flavors, creating a carbohydrate-dense dish with moderate protein from dairy. While traditionally served at breakfast, modern variations often feature additions like shrimp or spices, and its smooth yet slightly grainy texture pairs well with both bold and subtle accompaniments.
