A delightful blend of creamy grits and savory ingredients.
You'll love this grits casserole with ground sausage and cheese, especially if you're from the South. When I cook it, I place it in the slow cooker to stay warm. There is nothing worse than cold grits for breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 2 cups uncooked grits
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup butter, cut into pieces, divided
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Step 1:
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  • Step 2:
    Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan; stir in grits. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 cups Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the butter until melted.
  • Step 3:
    Cook sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and add to grits mixture.
  • Step 4:
    Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour into the skillet used to cook the sausage. Lightly scramble eggs over medium-low heat, then mix into grits mixture.
  • Step 5:
    Pour grits mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot with remaining butter, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 6:
    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
