Ingredients

  • 1/4 C Texas Pete ® Original Hot Sauce
  • 4 C grits, cooked according to directions
  • 1½ C butter, cut into Tbsp. size pieces
  • 2 C colby-jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 C sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1½ Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 2½ Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2-3 C chicken stock
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • Chopped chives for garnish
  • 2 lbs. smoked sausage, grilled
  • 2 bell peppers, cleaned and cut in half
  • 2 white onions, cut in half
  • Oil, for seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place cooked grits in a large, lightly greased, oven-safe baking dish.
  3. Stir in Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce and remaining grits ingredients except chives. When adding chicken stock, make sure the grits stay “soupy” in texture, which keeps them from getting too dry while baking.
  4. Bake for one hour, stirring occasionally. Garnish with chives.
  5. While grits are baking, grill sausages. Place peppers and onion face down on grill to roast, being careful not to burn.
  6. When all is done, remove from heat and allow sausage to “rest” for about 10 minutes before cutting. Cut the peppers and onions into strips, then cut the sausage into 1-inch pieces.
  7. Mix sausage and vegetables in a large bowl. Cover and keep warm until serving.
  8. Place desired amount of grits in center of plate, then spoon sausage mixture over. Top with a dash of Texas Pete® and serve hot.
