Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add grits and salt, reduce heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the house-made sausage links until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and slice.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Peppers and Onions

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté diced bell peppers and onions over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate pan, cook eggs to your desired style (scrambled, fried, or poached).

  5. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil or steam potatoes until tender, then mash or fry them according to your preference.

  6. 6

    Toast the Bread

    Toast the bread slices until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    On each plate, serve a portion of grits topped with sautéed peppers and onions, sliced sausage, eggs, a side of potatoes, and toast.
