Bring mixture to a boil over medium high heat and then stir in dry grits.

Turn heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently for approximately 25 minutes, until grits are thickened and tender.

Remove from heat and stir in the Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar cheese, until melted.

Stir in salt and chipotle powder to desired level of seasoning.

Add drained black beans to a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 60 to 90 seconds in the microwave until warmed.
