Savory Sausage and Grits Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Sausage and Grits Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and generously butter a 2-quart casserole dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk pork sausage until it’s beautifully browned, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Step 3

   As the sausage sizzles, add in the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper, letting them cook together until they’re tender and fragrant, roughly 5 more minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once everything is nicely cooked, transfer this savory mixture into your prepared casserole dish.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab a saucepan and bring some water and a pinch of salt to a rolling boil.

6. Step 6

   Stir in the quick-cooking grits, then lower the heat to medium-low.

7. Step 7

   Cover the saucepan and let the grits simmer gently until they’re tender, which will take about 30 minutes.

8. Step 8

   When the grits are ready, fold them into the sausage mixture in the casserole dish, mixing well and pressing it down into an even layer for a perfect bake.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to add a creamy touch! Pour the condensed cream of celery soup evenly over the grits and sausage blend, allowing it to seep into all the nooks and crannies.

10. Step 10

    To finish it off, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese on top, creating a gooey, cheesy layer that will melt beautifully in the oven.

11. Step 11

    Place your casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbly.

12. Step 12

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
