Grits Casserole
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 50 min.
YIELD: 10 servings.
Grits is a main ingredient for many Southern meals. I've had this recipe for years and never grow tired of it. It's especially good to serve on a lazy weekend, since leftover portions are very tasty served cold.
Ingredients
-
1 pound bulk pork sausage
-
4 cups water
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup quick-cooking grits
-
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 cup whole milk

Directions

1.
Crumble sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot grits into the eggs; return all to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Add the sausage, 1 cup cheese, milk and butter, stirring until the butter is melted.
