breakfast sausage cheese Grits

🧂 Ingredients

1 In a saucepan with a tight fitting lid, bring chicken broth to a boil.
2 Stir in grits & pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low & cover. Simmer for twenty
minutes, stirring occasionally.
3 While grits are cooking, crumble and brown breakfast sausage. Drain fat.
4 When grits are finished cooking, stir in sausage & shredded cheese. Taste and
salt if necessary. Usually the chicken broth & sausage adds enough.
5 Pour grits into a greased 13X9 baking dish.
6 Let dish rest at room temp for about half an hour then store in refrigerator.
Chill until firm – at least 2 hours. I prefer to make this the day ahead.
7 When ready to serve, cut grit cakes into squares, dip in flour if you'd like and
fry in 1/2" deep cooking oil. Lightly brown on both sides. Alternatively, you
can bake on a greased cookie sheet: dot tops with butter and bake at 400° for
about 25 minutes. Have no time – go ahead and throw it in the microwave.
8 Can be eaten alone or served with maple syrup, sour cream or an egg on top.
