Prep Time

This recipe only takes about 10 minutes of prep time. You will need to gather all the ingredients, measure them out, and prepare the slow cooker.

Cook Time

This crock pot grits recipe takes about 3-4 hours to cook in the slow cooker. You will know it is ready when the grits are tender and creamy.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of stone-ground grits
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Equipment

You will need a slow cooker to make this recipe. A 4-6 quart slow cooker should do the trick. Make sure you also have measuring cups and spoons, a large spoon for stirring, and a grater for the Parmesan cheese.

Notes

You can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version of this dish. You can also add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup of diced ham to the slow cooker for extra flavor. If you like your grits extra creamy, you can stir in 1/4 cup of cream or milk after cooking.

Recipe Tips
