Awesome Down Home Sausage And Egg Breakfast Casserole

Well good day to you all out there in Billyctv Recipe Land, how are we doing today?

I decided to post a little quick breakfast recipe that came from my grandma’s collections. I have made this several times in my life and even made a variation where I substituted potatoes for the grits that this recipe calls for.

I tell you what, I actually prefer the “grits” way myself but then again I am all about the grits! It’s a whole breakfast in a pan so all you do is prepare, cook and eat, it's really that simple.

Sausage And Egg Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 – 8oz. pkg. Jimmy Dean Ground Sausage (hot)
½ cup grits (quick cooking)
1 1/3 cup water
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
6 eggs
1 tsp. salt
½ cup chopped red & green bell pepper
½ cup chopped onion
½ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder
Pam or Crisco cooking spray

Preparation:

Crumble and brown sausage, onion and green pepper in medium sized skillet, drain and set aside.

Cook grits as directed on package, add salt, pepper, garlic, butter and one cup of cheese.

Set the grits to the side a minute you will need them in a second.

Scramble eggs in a small skillet.

Combine the sausage, grits and eggs.

Add the other cup of cheese.

Pour mixture into a 5 X 9 baking dish lightly sprayed with Crisco cooking spray.
