Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 - 4 1/2 c water
1 c quick cooking white hominy grits
1/2 tsp salt
2 - 3 Tbsp butter
1 c shredded, sharp cheddar cheese
1 c shredded, monterey jack cheese
3 beaten eggs
1/2 c milk
1 tsp oil
4 - 5 links, beddar cheddar smoked sausage ( cut lengthwise then cut into bite sized pieces) or your favorite sausage
can add some onion with the sausage - i didn't this time , gives great flavor
1 clove minced garlic is great also, to cook in with the sausage

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 3 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or grease. Set aside. Saute the sausage in 1 tsp oil just till it starts to get some caramelization as it's already cooked. If using raw sausage cook until no longer pink, and starting to brown. Drain if needed.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, bring the 4 cups water to a boil. Stir in the grits and salt, reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 1/2 - 5 minutes; stirring frequently, until nice and creamy.
  • 3. Stir in the cheddar cheese and butter until cheese is melted.
  • 4. Now, stir in the beaten eggs, milk and sausage. Pour into prepared baking dish.
  • 5. Sprinkle evenly with Monterey Jack cheese. Place in oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until set and cheese is turning golden.
  • 6. Enjoy!

This casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of smoked sausage. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of smoked sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It turned out really well!
