SAUSAGE CHEESE GRITS
This is a great, flavorful way to prepare grits. You can also use mild sausage and less or no hot sauce if you prefer not to have the extra spice. This can also be prepared up to the baking stage, and refrigerated or frozen until ready to finish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and the fat is rendered, about 10 minutes, breaking up the chunks of sausage with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage to a bowl and set aside.
- Add 2 cups of the milk and 2 cups water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Whisk in the grits slowly until smooth and no lumps remain. Reduce the heat and continue to cook, whisking, until very thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in about half of the grated cheese.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs with the hot sauce and remaining 1 cup milk. Slowly stream the egg mixture into the skillet with the grits while continuously whisking. Fold in the cooked sausage, scallions and jalapeno and season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining cheese and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Slice the reserved scallion tops and sprinkle on top just before serving.
MEMPHIS-STYLE SAUSAGE GRITS
Pat: I'm a grits man. Have been my whole life. And it always surprises me when I travel to different parts of the country and taste grits that they are not sweet. In coffee shops and home kitchens throughout Memphis, we stir in sugar to make them sweet. Then we crumble a few sausage patties and stir those in, too. I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for something hot, sweet, and salty. My aunt Leona from Detroit stirs chopped poached eggs into her sausage and grits! To me, that seems like the ultimate grit combo. Top it with a dash or two of hot sauce, and you can't find a better feel-good breakfast for a Southern boy.

Steps:
- Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, heat the oil or bacon fat in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage patties and fry until they are browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- When the water is boiling, stir in the grits, butter, sugar, and salt, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 4 minutes.
- Crumble the sausage patties into the grits. Serve the grits topped with a dash or two of hot sauce, and chopped poached eggs, if desired.
SAUSAGE, SHRIMP AND PEPPERS OVER CHEESY GRITS
Steps:
- For the grits: Bring the chicken stock, the cream and butter to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer until the grits have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Once the grits are thick and creamy, stir in the cheeses and adjust the consistency with stock and/or cream and season with salt and pepper. These grits provide a wonderful bed to soak up the flavor from the sausage, shrimp and veggies.
- For the sausage, shrimp and peppers: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausages and brown. Then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving all of the fat in the skillet. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and saute until they begin to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved sausage and the chicken stock to the skillet and let reduce a bit to intensify those flavors. Stir in the butter at the end and garnish with parsley.
- Serve the sausage mix over the grits.
SAUSAGE AND EGG GRITS
I always mix my sausage, grits and eggs together so I thought it would be great to make a casserole that did the same. It's loaded with downhome flavor without using any butter! -Jeannine Quiller, Raleigh, North Carolina
