INGREDIENTS

  • Grains

    • 💧 6 cups water
    • 2 cups uncooked grits

  • Cheese/Dairy

    • 🧀 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
    • 🧈 ½ cup butter, cut into pieces, divided
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk

  • Meat

    • 🥩 1 pound ground pork sausage

  • Eggs

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.

2

Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan; stir in grits. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Mix in 2 cups Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the butter until melted.

3

Cook sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and add to grits mixture.

4

Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour into the skillet used to cook the sausage. Lightly scramble eggs over medium-low heat, then mix into grits mixture.

5

Pour grits mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot with remaining butter, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar, and season with salt and pepper.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
