• Add sausage back to the skillet for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through.
• Serve with big, fluffy biscuits with butter and honey! YUM!
• Oh, just a NOTE: My brother and my Dad always mixed in some catsup with theirs -- I used to put some on the side and dip the sausage into it -- Mom didn't care much for that when we added catsup, though! LOL!
