Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • The ingredients you will need are:
  • 1 lb. or 1 package of your own pre-cooked ground sausage or even bacon crumbles or ham cubes
  • 1 cup of cheese of any type (sharp tastes best)
  • 1.5 cups of Grits
  • 5 cups of water
  • 5 beaten eggs
  • ½ cup of milk
  • Dashes of Salt, Pepper, Turmeric and Cayenne and/or dash of Frank's Red Hot Sauce
  • We will also sometimes add diced onion
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees
  2. Prepare grits on the stove top like normal by bringing to a boil with the 5 cups of water and then cook until water is absorbed. Store-bought instant grits take just a few minutes, our bulk dry ones takes about 20 minutes.
  3. Cook your sausage or defrost your frozen cooked sausage
  4. Then combine all of the other ingredients into a bowl and stir-together
  5. Once the grits are done, add the sausage and other ingredients into the pan and stir together
  6. Then pour into a greased casserole dish and bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.
  7. The top will get crispy, but the inside will stay soft.
  8. Optional: you can add extra cheese on the top the last 5 minutes of baking!
  9. Best served warm, but it also stores and reheats in the microwave well too (it will just be more dry)
