EXPERT TIPS

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.

I have made this twice at work events and it was a winner every time. But I have always substituted the pork sausage for turkey sausage. Not a pork friend. But it is a hit. It is now my signature breakfast dish at work.
