Every year my Momma, Sister, and I plan our family Thanksgiving dinner. I love this time of preparing and cooking with my best friends...what sweet memories. A few years back, my sister gave me this cookbook for my birthday by Gooseberry Patch, so of course, I wanted to try a new dish from it for thanksgiving dinner. I chose to make "Southern Country Casserole." I knew it would be pleasing to everyone, and it was! I now make it every year. Here is the recipe from the cookbook. It is located on page 18.
Southern Country Casserole
I use organic ingredients for everything listed.
2 c. water
1/2 c. quick-cooking grits, uncooked
3-1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
4 eggs, beaten
1 c. milk
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 lb. ground sausage, browned (I use Simple Truth Organic Turkey Sausage)
1 T. fresh parsley, chopped
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan; add grits. Return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Mix in 2 cups cheese; stir until melted. Remove from heat; add eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and sausage, mixing well. Pour into a greased 13"x9" baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and parsley; return to oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serves 6 to 8.
