Breakfast Casserole Recipe (from leftovers)
An inexpensive breakfast item that I enjoy is grits. They’re easy to make, very inexpensive, and filling. Since grits are so inexpensive, it is one of the breakfast items I occasionally make for the youth group. The problem is, sometimes they eat up all of the grits and sometimes there is half of a pot left over.
One day I had made a pot of grits for the youth and for some reason that day, half of the grits were left. I decided not to let the grits go to waste. I figured I should be able to do something with them. I came home and created a breakfast casserole using grits, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy.
Last week, I had some grits, sausage, and scrambled eggs left over and decided to make another breakfast casserole. This time I had just a small amount left of each, so I made it in this small oven-safe Pyrex glass bowl.
By the way, my kids really like this dish! 
Since this is made with leftovers, there is no exact amount of ingredients.

Here is a recipe for sausage gravy. I needed much less so I just used 1 cup of milk and 1-2 tablespoons of flour.
