  • 1/2 cup quick grits
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth

  • Brown sausage over medium-high heat in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven. Stir in Cream of Potato soup, cream corn, 2 1/2 cups milk and cajun seasoning. Stir in cooked grits. If soup is too thick, add more milk. Simmer over low heat until heated through, approximately 10 minutes.

  • Serve with toast & shredded cheddar cheese for garnishing.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the grits often as they cook.
  • You can use other types of ground sausage if you prefer.
  • I highly recommend avoiding skim milk in this recipe. It will not give you the creamy results you are after.
