Instructions
- 1
Boil Liquids: In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the chicken broth, water, and kosher salt to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- 2
Whisk in Grits: Slowly pour the stone-ground grits into the boiling liquid in a steady stream while whisking constantly. This prevents lumps from forming.
- 3
Simmer: As soon as the mixture returns to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
- 4
Slow Cook: Let the grits simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover and whisk the grits vigorously every 5 to 7 minutes to release their starches, which creates a naturally creamy texture, and to ensure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Add Richness: Once the grits have absorbed the liquid and are tender to the bite, remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the butter and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
- 6
Add Cheese: Gradually fold in the freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and a dash of hot sauce. Stir gently until the cheese is completely melted and the grits are smooth, velvety, and thick. Serve immediately.
