Crockpot Chile Grits

(6 servings) Printable Version

2 cups grits
6 cups water
1 small can (4 or 6 ounces) chopped mild green chiles
1 medium jalapeno - seeded and finely chopped
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cumin or chili powder (optional)

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with a light coating of cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in the crockpot. Stir to combine. Cook on low for about 8 hours. Give the mixture a stir after the first hour of cooking.

Stir well before serving. Serve with a pat of butter and salt and pepper. Or if you're feeling spicy... spinkle warm grits with a Tablespoon or two of shredded cheese and dollop a spoonful of hot salsa right in the middle.

You can also cook on high instead for 2 to 3 hours, but the grits end up just a little too thick for my preference.
