Easy Cheesy Loaded Grits

• 1 pound mild or spicy bulk pork sausage
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick-cooking grits
• 3 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
• 1-1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
• 1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Chopped fresh cilantro

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain.
2. In a large saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, about 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
3. Add green chiles, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup Jack cheese, butter and pepper sauce; stir until cheese is melted. Stir in eggs, then sausage mixture.
4. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with remaining cheeses; sprinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and set, 50-60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with cilantro.
