SKIP THE BUTTER!!!<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>I make it sans butter now and it turns out much better.<br/><br/>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. -
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?
