Smoked Gouda Grits

While we were in Seaside, we ate at a wonderful restaurant called The Great Southern. They served grits made with gouda cheese with several of their entrees and it was incredible. I have rarely used gouda cheese but I wanted to try it, so I found a recipe online and altered it. The results were outstanding and the recipe is VERY easy. I served it with ham steaks and biscuits.

Smoked Gouda Grits

3 cups chicken broth (almost 1 full carton of Swanson)
1 cup milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 bag frozen white shoepeg corn
1 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits (not instant)
1 cup grated smoked gouda cheese
3 tbsp butter
Bring the first 4 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually whisk in grits. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese and butter, stirring until melted. Yield: about 6 servings
