Among the many dishes that epitomize comfort, Andouille sausage paired with cheesy grits holds a special place on the tables across the South and beyond, satisfying foodies and home cooks who relish a meal that's hearty and bursting with gusto.
When you’re shopping for the ingredients on this list, it’s best to buy a block of really good sharp cheddar and shred it yourself rather than getting a bag of pre-shredded cheese.
Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan and set to medium-high to bring to a boil. Stir in the grits, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While you're waiting for the grits, heat oil in a large skillet. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic, sprinkle with Tony Chachere's and sauté in heated skilled for 2-3 minutes until they've softened.
While peppers and onions are cooking, slice the sausage links at a diagonal angle, about 1/2 inch thick. Add the sausage to the sauté pan with peppers and onions and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the tomato paste and stir together with the sausage and pepper mixture until blended. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sausage is cooked through.
When the grits are done, remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve a heaping spoonful of grits, top with sausage and peppers, and add Green Tobasco to taste.
