Review Body: These grits were awful. Don't waste your time or money. Instant grits with some butter and cheese are much better

Review Body: SO GOOD! I didn't have heavy cream so I used whole milk. I also added A LOT of black pepper and it was absolutely delicious. I'm going to be making this again very soon.

Review Body: My wife is a connoisseur of grits and these are her favorite. So simple, yet so much flavor. I'd like to vary the cheese next time. Aside from smoked Gouda, what else would folks recommend?
