This sausage and grits dish is great and flavorful. You can also use mild sausage and less hot sauce if you prefer to avoid the extra spice. The recipe can also be prepared up to the baking stage, and refrigerated or frozen until ready to finish.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage

  • 4 cups water

  • 1 cup quick-cooking grits

  • 4 ounces shredded Gouda cheese

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • ¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce

  • 3 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage is crumbly and lightly browned. Drain off grease and place sausage in a bowl. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in grits, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir constantly for 5 minutes until grits are tender, or follow package directions.

  3. Stir together sausage, cheese, butter, hot pepper sauce, and eggs. Fold in grits until combined, then spread into an ungreased, small casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes.
