Smoked Gouda Grits

I'm Southern through and through so of course I love grits.    This recipe is not for your Grandmother's grits.  This version takes the flavor up a notch and add one of my other favorite things...cheese.  If you don't have smoked gouda on hand you can replace it with any other good melting cheese.
