Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet, cook sausage until browned; drain.

In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil; stir in grits. Return to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a large bowl, combine the grits and grated cheddar cheese; stir until the cheese is melted.

In a bowl, mix together eggs, milk, thyme, and garlic salt. Add a small amount of the hot grits to the egg mixture. Add egg mixture to the grits mixture in the saucepan. Add the cooked sausage, stirring well.

Pour grits mixture into a 8- by 8-inch baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the refrigerator and let stand for 15 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes.
