dscn6309

It seems like my trees have turned overnight….they look gorgeous but I am not looking forward to all the leaves on the ground.  They seem to hang out at my yard for months.

It is so chilly and windy that an easy shortcut casserole would be perfect for dinner.  There is a key ingredient to this casserole and that is a Rotisserie Chicken….a must.  You will probably need just half of the chicken.  Use the rest for a chicken salad.  They make the best!

Line the bottom of an 11 x 7 inch baking dish with 3 tortillas; layer with enough chili mixture to lightly cover them, then half of the chicken mixture and a third of the cheese.

Repeat another layer.  Then, top with the las 3 tortillas.  Pour the last of the chili mixture and sprinkle with the last of the cheese.

Place in the oven for about 30 minutes.  Let is stand 5 or 10 minutes before serving.  It makes a great meal.  The chicken is full of flavor and all you have to do is add a salad or veggie and dinner is then served.

Sausage Cheese Grits Casserole, For Breakfast?, Perfect!, For Lunch?, Of Course!, For Dinner?, Why Not?, Recipe, So Easy

 

Last night the weather was stormy, rainy and chilly.  There is something about comfort foods.  Some of them stick to your ribs more than others.  This recipe is so easy and in the oven in no time. 

 

Sausage Cheese Grits Casserole

 

1 cup Old Fashioned Grits

1-1/2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1/4 butter or margarine

1 lb. sausage, browned (I used Jimmy Dean’s with sage)

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup milk

3 cups water

1/2 tsp. salt (optional)

2 tsps. Tabasco (optional)

 

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 3-quart baking dish.

In a frying pan, cook the sausage breaking it down into small pieces, until it browns.

In a 3-quart saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil.  Slowly add grits, stirring constantly for about 4 minutes.  Reduce heat, cover pan, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, or so.  Remove from heat.

Add 1 cup of cheese and butter or margarine; stir until smooth and well blended.

Serves 6.

Note:  Even though the Tabasco is optional, it does give it a nice kick.  I thought I would add next time a few chopped jalapenos and elevate it to a different heat index.  I don’t know, making it my own, I guess. 

And, guess what?  This recipe is gluten free.
