Ingredients:
- 1 cup of grits
- 4 cups of water
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups of shredded cheese (Cheddar works wonders!)
- 1 cup of milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start off by cooking the grits. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the grits and cook according to package instructions until thick and creamy.
- While those grits are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the sausage until it’s cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Grease a large baking dish. Once the grits are done, spread half of them in the bottom of the baking dish. Next, layer the cooked sausage evenly on top of the grits.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the sausage, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Then, sprinkle the remaining grits on top, followed by the shredded cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Once it’s done baking, let it sit for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions if you like. Serve warm and enjoy every bite!
There you have it, folks! A delicious, hearty casserole bursting with flavor that’s sure to please your family and friends. It’s the ultimate comfort food that brings happiness to the table. Now go ahead, get that apron on, and let the cooking begin!
