1 cup uncooked
grits

1 lb ground
sausage

4 green onions,
chopped

1/2 stick butter

1 egg

1 1/2 cups cheddar
cheese, shredded

1 tsp paprika

1/4 cup fresh parsley,
chopped

Preheat oven to 325
degrees. 

Cook grits in 4 cups
of salted water until thick.  Saute sausage, breaking it into small pieces. 
When sausage is almost done, add onion to sausage and continue to saute until
onions are soft and sausage is cooked through.  Drain sausage mixture to remove
excess fat.

Add butter, egg, and 1
cup of the cheese to grits.  Combine grits mixture with sausage mixture. 

Pour into a 13 x
9-inch casserole dish and garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese,
paprika and parsley.

Bake for 45 minutes to
1 hour, until the casserole is bubbly and lightly brown on top.
