Sausage, Grits & Pecan Casserole

    Cut this in half and used veggie sausage links. Very very good! The grits were light and creamy (and the directions on my grits specified more water also, but I followed the recipe instead. Glad I did). The pecans add not only a nice crunch but a light sweetness. I didn't think they would add much to the finished product but they do! Nice change for breakfast! Will make again. Thanks Dancer!
