Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Italian sausage link (¼ pound)

- Wash and mince the chives. Set these aside.
- Mince the onions,the smaller the better.
- Wearing the gloves, seed and chop the pepper.
- Heat the oil in the skillet on medium. Remove the sausage from the casing. Put the sausage, onion, and pepper in the skillet. Cook and crumble the sausage, until it’s no longer pink. This should take about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the milk and water. When the mixture has begun to boil, slowly stir in the grits.
- Allow the grits to return to a boil, stirring the whole time.
- Reduce the grits to low, cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Stir often.
- Remove the grits from the heat and stir in the cheese, butter, and chives.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
