For those of you who have been reading with me, you know my father-in-law is a GREAT cook.  Very southern, homestyle cooking.  My parents were both very good cooks also.  Very Italian, northern grub.  Needless to say...I have a food problem...I LOVE IT!

This little number is from my father-in-law.  It's called cheese grits...but don't let the title fool you.  It is a breakfast all rolled up into one pan...and I promise you, you don't have to like sausage or GRITS to love this recipe...enjoy, icart

! cup quick cooking grits (I use Quaker)

4 cups water

1 onion, diced

1 of each...green, red and yellow peppers; diced

1 lb sausage

1 lb velveeta cheese

Cook the onions and peppers with the sausage (crumbled up) in a deep frying pan (no oil or butter is needed, the sausage will supply the needed moisture).  When the sausage is cooked completely, add the water and the grits.  Raise the temp to bring the water to a boil.  Stirring occasionaly for 5 to 7 minutes.  Once the grits thicken, lower the temp to low or simmer, add the velveeta  (dice it up...it melts faster) .  Once the cheese is melted...serve!

You can adapt this recipe anyway you would like...more onions and peppers (at Christmas time I just use the red and green ones)...add more sausage or take it out completely...add more or less cheese depending on how your family likes it!

It is very filling alone or serve with eggs (or pancakes like I did this morning).

If I had all those ingredients in the house right now I would sure whip up a batch of cheese grits! I love the added sausage. That's a real southern recipe!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting/commenting on my blog. It's always nice to have visitors! : )

My DH would love this. There's a restaurant near us (in NC), they serve cheesy grits as a side for dinner...and this is a fancy type of place, too. They are wonderful and this sounds like a recipe for this dish! Hmmm, I may have to try it.
