1cupdairy free shredded cheddar cheese(I used Violife)
More salt to taste if needed(I ended up with 1 teaspoon of salt)
Additional dairy free cheese, dairy free butter, red pepper flakes, or sliced chives for topping
Instructions
Add the water and salt to a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat slightly to medium-low heat and add the quick cooking grits to the water, whisking as you add the grits to make sure they don't clump together.
Cook the grits for about 5 minutes, whisking regularly to prevent scorching or lumps.
While the grits are cooking, whisk in the nutritional yeast flakes and the spices/seasonings.
Once the grits are cooked and thickened quite a bit, turn off the heat and stir in the dairy free sour cream, the dairy free butter, and the dairy free cheddar cheese.
Taste test your grits (make sure your test tasting sample is cooled off because this will be very hot), add more salt if you'd like more. I ended up adding 1 teaspoon salt in our batch of grits.
Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
