Preparation Instructions

1. Heat the water to a full simmer in a medium sized saucepan.
2. While the liquid is heating, put the stone-ground grits into a large mixing bowl and cover with cool water. Skim the surface carefully and remove the floating debris drain the grits in a fine strainer.
3. Stir the grits into the simmering liquid, cooking and stirring often, until the grits are tender to the bite and have thickened to the consistency of thick peanut butter.
4. Remove from the heat and season the grits generously with salt.
5. Stir in the Stonemill Kitchens Spicy Pepper & Three Cheese Dip and butter, allowing the cold fat to act as an emulsifier with the hot grits.
6. Let rest, covered, until you are ready to serve.
