Notes
- You can use any kind of grits for this recipe, but we recommend stone-ground grits for the best texture and flavor.
- If you want to add extra flavor to your grits, try stirring in some cheese, bacon, or herbs before serving.
- If your rice cooker doesn't have a "porridge" or "white rice" setting, just use the regular "cook" setting and check the grits periodically to ensure they don't overcook or dry out.
