For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking. Feel free to substitute different cheeses, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, for a unique twist. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you like your grits extra creamy, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the egg mixture.
