For a milder flavor, use mild sausage and reduce the amount of hot pepper sauce. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar, Gruyere, or pepper jack. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you don't have quick-cooking grits, you can use stone-ground grits, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
