Grits Breakfast Bake sliced and on a plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This grits breakfast bake is a hearty breakfast casserole. It has thick and creamy grits on the bottom and is packed with smoky sausage. Then, it's topped with a layer of fluffy eggs and cheddar cheese. We imagine this being just as divine with any number of cheese combinations. A delicious breakfast option for a weekend or holiday breakfast.
