  • step 1
    ingredients  
    instructions Preheat oven to 425. Grease a 9x9 casserole dish or 8 cup souffle dish.
  • step 2
    ingredients 2 1/2 cups Milk
    2 1/2 cups Chicken Stock (plus more if needed)
    Salt and Pepper

  • step 4
    ingredients 1 1/2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese 
    3 tablespoons Butter 
    4 Eggs (separated)
    instructions When the grits are creamy and cooked, take off the heat and stir in the sausage, along with the cheese and butter. Stir in the whisked egg yolks.

  • step 6
