Grits Casserole
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
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
Reviews
The sausage makes this a nice change of pace from my usual cheese grits recipe. Will try making it with bulk Italian sausage for even more flavor!
After living in Atlanta for 35 years, we moved to California where many of my new friends have never eaten grits. I thought this might be the perfect way to introduce them to this southern treat. I prepared this casserole for a group of church ladies and they couldn't believe grits were so tasty. I read some of the reviews before preparing this, so I used spicy sausage and 8 oz. of cheddar cheese as others suggested. I will be making this again and again.
This is a great recipe full of great flavor easy to make and great the next day.I will easily make this again. I think i will try with different kinds of cheeses though.
This is delicious!!! I added more cheese, 1/2 c. butter and 3/4 c. milk like the others. Also diced canned jalapenos and tony's instead of salt.
I took this to a meeting this morning and everyone liked it. I think it would be good using hot sausage.
This was an absolutely amazing dish. The only change the next time I make it is going to be MORE CHEESE!.
This side dish is great for breakfast or dinner!
I've been making this recipe for years and it's very good. Mine uses 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup milk, but other than that it's about the same.
