 { Sausage and Cheese Grits Casserole }

 

 
 

THIS WEEK’S CRAVINGS Linky Party #63

Have I told you before that I am not a breakfast person?
I like to eat in the morning sometimes…but I am not a fan of “breakfast food”.

(Really the only breakfast I really like to eat, would be sausage gravy and biscuits)

Big Bear likes to eat things like: eggs, sausage, bacon, etc

Sometimes that means I make things that he loves because well.. because I love him! 

 

 
Sausage and Cheese Grits Casserole
 
Serves 6-9
 
(Printable Recipe Here)
 
What you need:
 
1 lb. sausage (we used hot sausage)
1 1/2 cups grits
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs, beaten
 
What to do:
 
Preheat oven to 350 F.
 
In a large skillet brown and crumble the sausage. (Drain the grease from the sausage once browned)
 
While the sausage is browning, bring 4 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Once the water reaches a boil, stir in 1 1/2 cups of grits.
 
Turn the temperature down to simmer and stir. Let Simmer for 5-10  minutes and stir occasionally.
 
Add the cheese and vegetable oil and stir until the cheese is melted. Stir in milk and eggs. Mix well.
 
Spread the cooked sausage on bottom of a casserole dish. I used an 8×8 here.
 
Spoon the grits over the sausage.
 
Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes.
 
Remove from Oven and let set for 5 minutes (while the grits set)

    this looks tasty for a Saturday morning breakfast. However, most of us southerners would use the sausage grease to make some gravy.

      We don’t normally eat gravy with our casseroles 🙂 We make gravy when we make sausage and gravy biscuits

      I bet that would be awesome! We can’t use onions because my husband is allergic but if you try it with them let me know how it is!

    This looks really good! Can you put it together the night before and bake it in the morning?

    Absolutely delicious. I used sharp cheddar cheese for extra flavor. 8×8 inch dish is too small though, I had about a cup and a half extra grit/cheese/egg mixture that did not fit in the dish. Next time, I will use a slightly larger one.

    Delicious! I put everything together the night before, popped it in the oven the next morning and . . . wah lah! A great tasting breakfast! I used pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles, quick grits and sharp cheddar cheese (ingredients I had on hand) & it turned out perfect. I’ll definitely be making this dish again!
