We had cheese grits for the first time at a BBQ restaurant last fall and I've been on the search for a recipe. This was really good! Served it to guests and our picky friend wanted to take home leftovers. I used Sharp Cheddar cheese and the rest was as is. I will cut back on the salt next time 2tsp of regular and 3tsp of Kosher salt was a bit too salty for my taste. Thanks so much for sharing - we'll be making this again.
