How to Make Cheesy Grits Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9-inch casserole dish.
- In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil.
- Slowly whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits.
- Reduce heat to low, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup of the hot grits until light and frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the remaining grits in the saucepan.
- Stir in 1 pound cooked sausage (browned and crumbled), 1 cup of milk, and 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the grits mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
