Preparation

Step 1

Plus, you can make it up to 2 days in advance, keep it in the fridge and then bake it whenever you are ready.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cook grits in 4 cups of salted water until thick. Saute sausage, breaking it into small pieces. When sausage is almost done, add onion to sausage and continue to saute until onions are soft and sausage is cooked through. Drain sausage mixture to remove excess fat.

Add butter, egg, and 1 cup of the cheese to grits. Combine grits mixture with sausage mixture.

Pour into a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish and garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, paprika and parsley.

This is delish! I made it last night and woke up this morning and put it in the oven. Wow! Love it. Next time I will add some green chilis or jalapeños for a kick and add a poached or fried egg on the side. Thanks for the recipe. This is a keeper!
