Expert Tips

This cheesy casserole makes a great brunch dish. Pair it with a bowl of fresh fruit and a side of thickly-sliced Texas toast.

"Grits" is simply another name for ground corn and can be bought in several grinds from coarse to fine. The finest milled corn grits are cornmeal, used to make cornbread.

Very good recipe. I fixed this for supper and then heated the lefovers the next day for breakfast with a little milk in a boiler. It was even better reheated!

I just made this using turkey sausage, 2% cheddar cheese, skim milk and light margarine and it tastes great! Should have reduced the fat grams by quite a bit.
