Method

Prepare Grits

1

Cook the Grits

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of white corn grits. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

2

Add Cheese

Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

Cook Sausage

3

Brown the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook 1 lb of country pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Scramble Eggs

4

Prepare Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tbs of milk, and salt and black pepper to taste.

5

Cook the Eggs

In a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until the eggs are just set and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Assemble Bowl

6

Combine Ingredients

In serving bowls, layer the cheesy grits, followed by the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and top with 1 cup of shredded smoked gouda and 1 cup of crispy fried onions.

Serve hot and enjoy your Southern Grit Bowl!
