You'll love this grits casserole with ground sausage and cheese, especially if you're from the South. When I cook it, I place it in the slow cooker to stay warm. There is nothing worse than cold grits for breakfast!

Ingredients

  • water: 6 cups
  • uncooked grits: 2 cups
  • cheddar cheese: 3 cups (divided, shredded)
  • butter: 0.5 cup (cut into pieces, divided)
  • ground pork sausage: 1 pound
  • eggs: 12 piece
  • milk: 0.5 cup
  • salt and pepper: (to taste)
