1In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of stone-ground grits and reduce the heat to low.
Cook the grits, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until they are thick and creamy.
While the grits are cooking, cook 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon once it has cooled.
Once the grits are cooked, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the grits are smooth.
Serve the cheese grits topped with the crumbled bacon.
