Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound turkey breakfast sausage
1 1/2 cups 1-percent milk
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup quick-cooking grits
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Dash of ground red pepper
3 egg whites, room temperature
Vegetable cooking spray
2 cups red bell pepper strips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cook sausage in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Drain and set aside.
  • Combine milk and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in grits; cover, reduce heat and simmer 7 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Combine grits mixture, sausage, cheese, parsley, salt, garlic, and peppers in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently stir 1/4 of the egg whites into grits mixture; gently fold in remaining egg whites. Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes or until set and lightly browned.
  • Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add bell pepper, and saute 4 minutes or until tender; serve warm with grits.

This was my first time making grits casserole and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect.

I've tried several grits casserole recipes and this one is by far the best. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor.

This casserole is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great.

I'm not a huge fan of grits, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The combination of flavors and textures is really nice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover grits and sausage. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. Next time, I'll add more milk or cream.

I've made this casserole a dozen times and it's always a hit with my family and friends. It's easy to make and the leftovers are just as good as the first day.

Meh. This casserole was bland and one-note. Won't be making it again.

My picky eaters devoured this dish! I doubled the sausage and added a can of diced green chiles. This recipe is a keeper!
