By oldbklady

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork sausage (bulk)
• 4 c. water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup quick-cooking grits (quick cooking)
• 4 eggs (lightly beaten)
• 1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1/4 cup softened butter

Preparation

Step 1

Crumble sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot grits into the eggs; return all to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Add the sausage, 1 cup cheese, milk and butter, stirring until the butter is melted.

Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until the top begins to brown.
