Grits Casserole

Grits Casserole

  • 2 cups grits (use the instructions on the box to cook them, usually 4 cups water for 1 cup grits plus butter and salt)
  • 2 eggs
  • shredded cheese (I used 1 cup American and 1 cup shredded Manchego, but other cheeses in varying amounts can be used too)
  • 1 package of country style sausage (you can use bacon or shrimp as well, the amount can vary)
  • *1 sauteed onion
  • *1 small can of green chilies
  • *1 small can of chopped jalepenos
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp of cracked black pepper

*use other vegetables in place of these if you want.  This casserole is a good way to use up leftovers like corn, green beans, or tomatoes.

  1. Let the meat and veggies cool, then mix all of the ingredients except for the grits in a large bowl.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  3. Fold in the grits and then pour the whole thing into a large glass baking dish.  Bake for 45 min or until the center is “set up”; it should only jiggle slightly when you shake it.  I also put cornflake crumbs and a little extra cheese on the top sometimes.
  4. Serve it to everyone except the guy with the heart condition.  He might sue.
