My husband loves grits...I can take ‘em or leave ‘em.
Tried this grit casserole recipe out for fun...and to help use up the container of quick-cook grits that would have taken him forever to use up.
This came out GREAT! We ate it for days and now it’s gone :(
Sausage and Cheese Grits Casserole (Betty Crocker Recipe)
Ingredients:
1 LB bulk pork sausage
4 cups water
1/2 tea salt
1 cup uncooked quick grits
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 Tabl butter
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
Heat oven to 350°F.
Spray shallow 3-quart casserole with cooking spray.
(I used a 7x11 casserole dish)
In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink; drain.
In saucepan, heat water and salt to boiling. Slowly stir in grits; reduce heat. Cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. (let cool a bit)Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and the butter until melted. Stir in eggs, milk and sausage.
Pour grits mixture into casserole. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake casserole uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
(leftovers are quick - a slice into the microwave - a few minutes and yum-redux)
