With Sweet Tea!

Welcome to With Sweet Tea! Hey y'all! I am so incredibly glad you dropped by. Most of the dishes you'll find here are authentic Southern recipes that have been lovingly handed down through my family for generations. For a while now, a few sweet folks on Facebook have been begging me to start sharing them online. I always meant to get around to it, but it wasn't until my grandbabies asked me to write down all my recipes that I knew I had to finally sit down and make this blog a reality. Keepin' It Real & Simple. Now, please don’t expect anything fancy around here! I’m just a down-home Southern cook who was taught everything I know by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of before, while others might be completely new to your kitchen. Either way, my biggest hope is that you find something here that you and your family just absolutely love. If you do find a recipe that hits the spot, please leave me a comment or drop me a line! I have always loved hearing from my readers, and your messages truly make my day. A Quick Note on How I Cook (The "Eyeball" Method)I have a little confession to make: I am one of those cooks who never measures anything. I have made these dishes so many times that I can tell exactly how much to use just by looking at it. If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, I’m not going to pull out a measuring cup—I’m just going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me! Because I want you to find success in your own kitchen, I am trying my absolute best to convert my everyday cooking into exact measurements for you. But please don't stress over it! As long as you follow along somewhat closely, you won't mess it up. Let's Get Cooking! Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun in the kitchen! I love y'all, and Jesus does too.

Breakfast Casserole.

 Over the years, I have tried many variations of a breakfast casserole. I received this recipe thirty-eight years ago and it's the only one, so far, that my family enjoys.




old-fashioned cooked grits.

1 lb of sausage. ( I love using Wilson's hot sausage)

2 cups of shredded cheddar. (We like extra sharp)

1 can of rotell tomatoes and peppers. ( I use milder because the sausage is hot)

2 eggs

3 or 4 eggs for scrambling. (optional)

I/2 Cup of diced onion


Cook your grits according to directions.

As with all things I cook, I have to make a ton of grits.

While your grits are cooking you can go ahead and brown your sausage and onion.

I pour my sausage onto paper towels once it's done, to soak up some of the grease.

Now, I scramble my eggs in the same pan as the sausage. It just gives them a great taste.

Once your grits are done, find a big bowl and mix them with your sausage and scrambled eggs. Add the can of rotell. Add your two eggs and your cheese. Mix well and pour into a 9 x 13 casserole dish and cook at 350 until the top is golden brown.

Note. Now I don't add the scrambled eggs to my casserole. I like to serve them on the side. With a sliced tomato and a piece of toast. Enjoy!
