SPOM (not to be confused with SPAM) and Garlic Herb Goat Cheese Grits

Here's what you need:

1 Onion, chopped

1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped 

Bunch of Mushrooms, chopped

Worchestershire Sauce

1 package Beef Sausage, sliced into diagonal medallions

 (You can use low fat, but it won't be greasy enough...yes, I said that out loud)

 For the grits: Quick Cooking Grits, Chicken Broth, Half and Half (or Heavy Whipping Cream), 8oz pkg of Garlic-Herb Goat Cheese

Oh..and a glass of wine and some cheese to snack on while you are preparing...if you're into that sort of thing.

 Put a few drizzles of olive oil in your cast iron skillet and get it super hot. Throw in the sausage and let it brown for a minute or two...

Then throw in the veggies and drizzle a little worchestershire on top. I also added some Tony's for seasoning. Cover and stir around occasionally, cooking over a medium high heat.

Cook your grits according to the package directions (I forgot to take pictures of this process). I use chicken broth instead of water to cook mine and when they are almost done, add about 1/2 cup half n half and the goat cheese. Stir until mixed thoroughly. I also add a little salt and pepper to taste. Some goat cheese is saltier than others, so taste as you go...but don't burn your tongue.

Spoon the grits onto your plate and then the sausage and peppers over that. Serve with a salad and some bread (we had caesar salad and buttered biscuits). My kids actually ate this, too.
