Personal Notes:
Notice that this recipe does not call for additional salt—the sausage & corn both already have salt added, and both the butter & cheese also will have sodium in it. Additional salt is just not necessary.

The cooking & stirring is important while cooking these grits to ensure a creamy texture. Without it, it tends to be a “gritty” textured dish, and lacks the creamy smoothness it should have.

Chicken Andouille Sausage is also a healthier substitute. If you want a less spicy substitute, use Smoked Sausage.
