From Miller Farms Market you will need:
1 lb Papa Weaver Sausage
4 cups Trickling Springs Creamery Milk
1 1/2 cups grits
10 tablespoons butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 large pastured eggs lightly beaten
you will also need:
1 tsp salt
2 cups water
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
freshly grated nutmeg
Let's get cooking .... Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter up a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish
Brown off sausage and set aside to drain. In a large heavy sauce pan, bring milk and water to a boil. Add the salt! Add the grits and stirring from time to time, simmer until grits are done, about 12 minutes. Remove pan from burner and put lid on pan. Let grits sit for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes have passed, add the drained sausage, butter, cheese, cayenne, and the eggs. Mix until well combined. Turn mixture into buttered casserole dish. Using a microplane add a light grating of nutmeg on top. Bake 30 - 40 minutes until top is lightly browned.
Enjoy!!
