Slow Cooker Southern Creamy Grits

By critty

Ingredients

• 1 - 2 T. butter or margarine, to butter sides and bottom of cup/bowl
• 1 c. grits, stone-ground (not quick cooking)
• 2 c. water
• 1 1/2 c, milk
• 1/2 c, heavy cream
• 1 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a glass measuring cup/bowl, (4 cup size), butter sides and bottom of cup/bowl and combine grits, water, milk, cream, and salt.

Place the measuring cup/bowl (with the grits mixture in it) in a slow cooker, and add enough cold water to the crock to come about half-way up the outside of the glass measuring cup/bowl which holds the grits mixture.

Cover, cook on low for 7-8 hours or overnight.

Remove slow cooker lid and stir grits well to break up any lumps that formed during the crocking.

I like to add cheese to my HOT Grits, and let it melt, for CHEESY GRITS! YUM!
