"Crock Pot" Grits Recipe

Ingredients

* Cooking Spray
* 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
* 7 - 8 Cups - Boiling liquid (usually water)
* 2 Cups - Cornmeal (uncooked grits), preferable stone ground, coarse or fine
* 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions

Here is one from a cookbook by Crescent Dragonwagon.

1) Spray the inside of a slow cooker well with cooking
spray. turn the heat to high.

2) Add the liquid, salt, and cornmeal and stir well.
Cover and leave on high for 1 hour, then lift the lid,
stir well, and turn the heat to low.

3) Continue cooking, stirring very occasionally (once
an hour or so, if you happen to think of it), until
tender or very thick, 6 to 9 hours. serve hot, as is,
or chill and "set up" for later use.

It is a vegetarian cookbook, which i think is why she
has olive oil as an option, and doesnt use much butter.
