Gator Harrison invited Chef Jason Evins from The Inn at Evins Mill into the Green Galley for a tasty twist on a southern classic.

Bring milk, butter or oil, salt pepper, crushed red pepper to boil.  Add grits and reduce heat to a simmer.  Stir often and until grits are tender and thickening.  This will take 30- 40 minutes.  Stir in cheese and enjoy.
