Very tasty. I normally don't prefer sweet grits, but with the tomatoes, cheese, etc. It turned very good. I'm a grits person, so I liked it. My friend liked it. My only thing is when I make this again, I'll likely sub bacon in lieu of the sausage. I think bacon would taste better.

This is a great and easy breakfast!! For those of you who do not like grits...try them in this recipe! I am not a fan either and love grits in this recipe. I made my own turkey sausage and used egg beaters. This is great have made this several times and love it every time!!

This looks great! Just saw this episode for the first time. I don't eat pork, so I will use turkey sausage. Sounds like a real keeper, and I can't wait to try it.
As for the negativity of some, it's ok not to like somebody, but you don't have to watch the show. You can always get recipes right off the site instead. I was a little 'surprised' the first time I saw the Neeleys, but now I love their fun and exuberance, and their love for each other is so obvious and uplifting.
