Recipe View While the sausage is cooking, bring the water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Gradually whisk in the quick-cooking grits, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the grits are tender and thickened, about 5 minutes, or according to package directions. (8 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving. (40 minutes)

For a milder flavor, use mild sausage and reduce the amount of hot pepper sauce.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar, Gruyere, or pepper jack.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
If you don't have quick-cooking grits, you can use stone-ground grits, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
