Ingredient Notes:

• Sausage: This is a great recipe for using any type of sausage you have. I’ve used it with ground pork, Jimmy DeanRegular/Light breakfast link sausages, and Tennessee Pride Ground Sausage links – all were delicious!

It was created in 1931 by Arthur Murtha and has been a popular pantry staple ever since. Bisquick is versatile and convenient – it’s perfect for when you need a quick breakfast or dessert.
