How To Make cheesy grits & smoked sausage casserole

  • 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.
