Grits Casserole Recipe


Hi Reader,

I love grits. It's not something I really grew up eating, but I fell in love with them when I moved to North Carolina. Especially grits with some kind of breakfast meat.

Usually bacon for me, but I wanted to make something special for holiday mornings. Something you can prep for a crowd without spending all morning in the kitchen.

This casserole checks all the boxes:

✅ Made with creamy grits, breakfast sausage, and cheddar cheese

✅ Feeds a crowd (perfect for holiday guests)

✅ Can be prepped ahead

✅ Everyone goes back for seconds

Serve this with some Sheet Pan Pancakes (no flipping required, feeds everyone at once) and Winter Fruit Salad for a little freshness on the table.

And if you've never made grits from scratch before, I've got you covered with my How to Make Creamy Grits guide.

Happy Cooking,

Tanya Harris

pot roast meat and vegetables in slow cooker

Hi Reader, I pick up a chuck roast from Costco pretty regularly, and this slow cooker pot roast has become one of my favorite ways to use it.
