OVERNIGHT SAUSAGE AND GRITS

Overnight Sausage and Grits image

This recipe is so appealing because you can make it the night before and then pop it into the oven an hour before you want to eat. It works well as a side with pancakes or waffles, but you can also make it the main course for brunch events. -Susan Ham, Cleveland, Tennessee
