4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 c. quick-cooking grits
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 lb. pork sausage, browned & drained
1 1/2 c. (6 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter, softened

In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove grits from heat and add a small amount of hot grits into the eggs; return to saucepan. Stir in sausage, 1 cup cheese, milk and butter; stir until the butter melts. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes or until the top begins to brown. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
