Are you into delicious southern casseroles that pretty much make your toes curl? Well, sister, sit back and make this yummy cheesy grits casserole for breakfast.
Check out what my pals over at Big Bear’s Wife had to say about this recipe:
Have I told you before that I am not a breakfast person?
I like to eat in the morning sometimes…but I am not a fan of “breakfast food”.(Really the only breakfast I really like to eat, would be sausage gravy and biscuits)
Big Bear likes to eat things like: eggs, sausage, bacon, etc
Sometimes that means I make things that he loves that I am just “ok” with. haha
This would be one of those things. Not because it tasted bad. Because it didn’t. I was actually really good, for a breakfast food.
What an adorable website name! “Big bear’s Wife” has a nice ring to it. I have a bear myself. To bad this name is already taken lol! And what a delightful casserole this is!
Ingredients
1 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage (we used hot sausage)
1 1/2 cups Quaker grits
3 cups Kraft shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons Wesson vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups TruMoo milk
3 Eggland’s Best eggs, beaten
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large skillet brown and crumble the sausage. (Drain the grease from the sausage once browned)
While the sausage is browning, bring 4 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Once the water reaches a boil, stir in 1 1/2 cups of grits.
Turn the temperature down to simmer and stir. Let Simmer for 5 minutes and stir occasionally.
And the cheese and vegetable oil and stir until the cheese is melted. Stir in milk and eggs. Mix well.
Spread the cooked sausage on bottom of a casserole dish.
Spoon the grits over the sausage.
Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Remove from Oven and let set for 5 minutes (while the grits set)
