This sausage and grits dish is great and flavorful. You can also use mild sausage and less hot sauce if you prefer to avoid the extra spice. The recipe can also be prepared up to the baking stage, and refrigerated or frozen until ready to finish.

Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in grits, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook and stir constantly for 5 minutes until grits are tender, or follow package directions.
