Ingredients

• 2 cups grits, uncooked
• 1 lb sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 cups milk
• 4 cups water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large saucepan, combine water and milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Gradually add the grits to the boiling mixture while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
4. Once all the grits are incorporated, add salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits are fully cooked and thickened, about 20 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the butter until melted and incorporated. Follow with the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until the cheese has melted. Finally, fold in the cooked and crumbled sausage.
6. Transfer the grits mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole has set.
7. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
