This recipe came from the Jim Dandy Quick Grits bag. I make it Christmas morning every year and we all love it. It can be made a day ahead and refrigerated, just bake a little longer.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see where to add the milk. I'm afraid to add it since y'all have said it's so runny. When do you add it?

SKIP THE BUTTER!!! This is a great recipe (as long as you don't look too closely at the Nutrition Facts) but it will be very oily if you add the recommended butter. I make it sans butter now and it turns out much better. I also reduce the recommended amount of water by a cup or so. This helps allow the grits to absorb some of the oil from the sausage nad cheese, resulting in a much more palatable final product

This didn't really turn out for me. It was pretty runny, and the sausage flavor overwhelmed everything.

This is pretty good. It does reheat well. A 2 quart casserole is not quite big enough.

I love this recipe I add a package of oscar mayer bacon pieces to it, and even reheated for a quick breakfast at work it still tastes good, and "sticks to your ribs" It also gives my family a change from the same old same old.
