Cheesy Grits with sausage!

One of our deer camp specialties we always do on opening weekend of deer season is a big batch of cheesy grits mixed with wild pork hot sausage. Well with the cold weather today just had to make a batch for lunch. Delish!

Brown 1 lb. of of pork sausage. While that is cooking add the following to a small stock pot or dutch oven:
4 cups water
1 stick unsalted butter
1 egg beaten
1 tbs minced garlic
1/2 cup of milk

Stir and heat just enough to melt the butter

Add in 1 cup of grits and bring to a medium heat for 5 minutes

Add in 1 lb. of sharp grated cheddar

Stir well over medium heat for another 5 minutes or so until cheese just starts to break down.

Add in the sausage and stir everything real well.

Cover and remove from heat and let steam for about 15 minutes, stirring often.

Never been able to do grits.....

Not for some folks for sure - we had a few guys in camp that hated grits, but took a bowl not knowing what it was and they came back for more.

Sounds good, but you know BTW I had grits this am also and an old girlfriend use to make cheesy grits with chives and ham in there

Sounds great on a day like today

Grits with sausage is good. Grits and shrimp is superb.

Oh heck yes. I love cheese grits and shrimp & grits, never tried sausage & grits.

Definitely would

Skinnerback, try this guy's recipe. It will knock your socks off.

Thank you Sir! I'll do that. On the subject, I just ate a big plate of some REALLY good shrimp & grits. I've learned a thing or two over the years from some of these offshore cooks (Louisiana boys), and still learning. He's giving me his recipe. Now if he could just learn how to make cornbread.

Exactly what is made from? I’ve never eaten it, just didn’t like the looks of it.

grits, made from corn that is ground down, then boiled ...

You've never heard of grits?

I can go for years without eating anything grits related, but I would definitely eat those cheesy grits.

Me either but I like hominy.

Great movie.

Tag for Christmas.

Would !

That sounds like a first class meal, would be all over that. I love cheese grits but I also love regular grits in he morning with eggs and red eye

Hmmm. This sounds really good.

You and me both. I`m surprised someone hasn`t thought about putting cream cheese in it like they do everything else.

You and me both brothers! Hominy too.

Jalapeno cheese grits are great.
