SAUSAGE CHEESE GRITS MUFFINS
These Sausage Cheese Grits Muffins are wonderful with soup on a cold day or with any meal. Serve them for breakfast with coffee and eggs. Grits are a Southern staple. I love these with butter and coffee in the mornings. They will keep for several days in or out of the refrigerator and warm up great in the microwave or oven.

These muffins would be the perfect addition to any gathering and would ideal for a brunch. These are also great to make on a Sunday and enjoy during the week.
