2 cups water
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits -- uncooked
3 1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
4 eggs -- lightly beaten (garnish)
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon dried whole thyme
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 pounds mild bulk pork sausage

Bring water to boil; stir in grits. Return to boil; reduce heat to
low, and cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cheese, stirring
until melted.

Combine eggs, milk, thyme and garlic powder; stir well. Gradually stir
about one-fourth of hot grits mixture into egg mixture; add to
remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Stir in sausage. Pour into
a lightly greased 11 x 7-inch baking dish. At this point, you can
refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
