Grits Casserole

• 1 pound bulk pork sausage
• 4 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick-cooking grits
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup butter, softened

1. Crumble sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In a saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot grits into the eggs; return all to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Add the sausage, 1 cup cheese, milk and butter, stirring until the butter is melted.
2. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350u0b0 for 50-55 minutes or until the top begins to brown.
