2 cups uncooked regular grits
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Cheddar cheese soup
1 jalapeño pepper, minced
2 cups frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/2 pound hot smoked sausage, sliced (we tested with Hillshire Farms)
3 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Combine first 8 ingredients in a 4-quart slow cooker. Stir in sausage.

Sausage Substitution Tip: Use andouille sausage or regular smoked sausage if you find the hot smoked sausage too spicy.
