Cajun Sausage Grits Recipes

CAJUN SAUSAGE & GRITS

Steps:

• Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan and set to medium-high to bring to a boil. Stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While you're waiting for the grits, heat oil in a large skillet. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic, sprinkle with Tony Chachere's and sauté in heated skilled for 2-3 minutes until they've softened.
• While peppers and onions are cooking, slice the sausage links at a diagonal angle, about 1/2 inch thick. Add the sausage to the sauté pan with peppers and onions and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the tomato paste and stir together with the sausage and pepper mixture until blended. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sausage is cooked through.
• When the grits are done, remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve a heaping spoonful of grits, top with sausage and peppers, and add Green Tobasco to taste.
• Serves 4-6. Or one really hungry man.

15 MINUTE ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND GRITS

Steps:

• In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add onion and garlic. Cook until translucent. Add chopped Andouille Sausage to onion and garlic and cook until the sausage is slightly browned. Add the petite diced tomatoes and Cajun seasoning, cook for 2 minutes. Add the roasted chicken {optional}. If the mixture is too dry, then add 1/4-1/2 cup of chicken broth. Simmer until Grits are ready.
• Bring water and chicken stock to boil. Slowly add grits to boiling water/broth mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until the grits are thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add shredded cheese and milk. Stir until smooth and cheese has melted.
• To serve: Spoon a helping of Cheese Grits into the bottom of a bowl and top with a large spoonful of Andouille Sausage mixture, sprinkle with sliced green onions and eat.

SAUSAGE CHEESE GRITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until the sausage is crumbly and lightly browned. Drain off the grease and place the sausage in a bowl. Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in the grits, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir constantly for 5 minutes until the grits are tender, or follow package directions.
• Stir together the sausage, cheese, butter, hot pepper sauce, and eggs. Fold in the grits until combined, then spread into an ungreased, small casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes.
