Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan bring water to a boil over high heat. Stir in grits; bring to a second boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, add 2 cups cheese, butter, garlic salt and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until combined and cheese is melted.

Stir eggs slowly into mixture. Transfer half of the mixture to a buttered 2 quart casserole dish. Add cooked sausage; top with remaining grits mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. (I did not do this step)

Remove from refrigerator and let set on counter for 30 minutes. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese. Return to oven for several minutes until cheese is melted. Makes 4-6 servings.
