Grit Cakes with Chipotle Field Roast Sausage

Ingredients

1/3 C heavy cream
2/3 C water
2 Tbsp instant grits
1/4 C cheddar cheese, grated
S&P
1 link Chipotle Field Roast
Olive oil for sauteing

Instructions

Make the grits according to package instructions, cooking them in the cream and water. Add salt, pepper, and cheddar. Spread the grits in a 1/4 inch layer in a glass baking dish and allow to set in the fridge for at least two hours. Once set, use a small glass or biscuit cutter to carefully cut out small circles, and saute them over medium low heat in a nonstick pan with a little olive oil (you want to get a nice browning on both sides). The longer you allow the grits to set -- you can do this overnight -- the less delicate they will be while handling.

Remove the field roast link from the casing and break it into small crumbles. Saute for 5-10 minutes with a small bit of oil over medium low heat until it crisps up.

Serve the grit cakes topped with sauteed sausage.
