Grits, Sausage, and Egg Casserole image

Every time I make this someone wants the recipe. It is great if you have overnight guests. Make it ahead and enjoy the morning with them. Check for doneness by inserting a knife in casserole. If it comes out clean you are ready to serve. This is a great brunch recipe served with biscuits, sweet rolls, and fresh fruit.

SAUSAGE AND EGG GRITS

I always mix my sausage, grits and eggs together so I thought it would be great to make a casserole that did the same. It's loaded with downhome flavor without using any butter! -Jeannine Quiller, Raleigh, North Carolina
