Ingredients

1 Tbsp. Jalapeño Chile Powder

1 (4 oz.) can mild roasted green chiles* 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk

1 1/2 tsp. Whiskey Barrel Smoked Black Pepper

1/2 tsp. Onion & Garlic Tableside Sprinkle 1 cup quick-cooking grits 8 oz. Monterey Jack or white cheddar cheese, shredded Salt, to taste

Onion & Garlic Everyday Seasoning

Mayan Sea Salt

Directions

Step 1 In a medium saucepan, combine Jalapeño Chile Powder, roasted green chiles, chicken broth, cream, Whiskey Barrel Smoked Black Pepper, and Onion & Garlic Tableside Sprinkle. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2 Once boiling, whisk liquid while slowly drizzling in the grits until combined. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 to 6 min., stirring once or twice to make sure mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3 Uncover and stir in cheese. Taste and season with salt if desired; you may not need salt depending on the broth and type of cheese you use.

Step 4 Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

*You can replace dehydrated jalapeno with 1/2 to 1 whole fresh diced jalapeno or replace canned green chiles with 1/4 cup fresh roasted diced chiles.
