Grits Sausage – Bean Cereals Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Grits-and-Sausage Casserole

Yield: 6 servings

1/2 pound turkey breakfast sausage

1-1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk

1-1/2 cups water

3/4 cup quick-cooking grits

3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese

3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Dash of ground red pepper

3 egg whites

Vegetable cooking spray

2 cups red bell pepper strips

Cook sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until

browned, stirring to crumble. Drain and set aside. Combine milk

and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Stir in grits; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 7 minutes or until

thickened, stirring frequently. Combine grits mixture, sausage,

cheese, parsley, salt, garlic, and peppers in a large bowl; set

aside. Beat egg whites (at room temperature) at high speed of a

mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of egg whites

into grits mixture; gently fold in remaining egg whites. Spoon

mixture into a 1-1/2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until set and lightly browned.

Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Add bell pepper, and saute 4 minutes or until tender; serve warm

with grits. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup grits and 1/3

cup bell pepper).
