Grits are a Southern favorite. This creamy corn dish is similar to cream of wheat or polenta and can be prepared either sweet or savory. Using instant grits bought at the store will speed up the cooking process and make this dish a quick standby that can be ready on the spot. Prepare the grits as directed by the packaging on the stove top. Once the grits are ready, add in shredded cheese – preferably cheddar. Gradually stir the grits and cheese until they are fully combined and melted and serve warm. In this video, Chef Mark provides an online cooking lesson for creamy, down-home grits and cheese. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
