SAUSAGE AND GRITS (sugarandspice-celeste)

1 cup uncooked grits

1 lb ground sausage

4 green onions, chopped

1/2 stick butter

1 egg

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1 tsp paprika

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cook grits in 4 cups of salted water until thick.

When sausage is almost done, add onion to sausage, and continue to saute until onions are soft and sausage is cooked through. Drain sausage mixture to remove excess fat.

Add butter, egg, and 1 cup of the cheese to grits. Combine grits mixture with sausage mixture.

Pour into a 9×13 casserole dish.
