Angie's Sausage and Biscuits YUMMY!

Ingredients:
1 lb Jimmy Dean Sausage (Original flavor only)
1 package of your favorite refrigerated biscuits
between 1/4 c. and 1/2 c. flour
Milk (as much as you want to achieve desired thickness)
Salt and Pepper

Bake biscuits per package directions.
While baking biscuits, brown sausage. Use a fork to break up the sausage into tiny pieces. Cook the sausage long enough that it starts to get crispy on one side (until it sticks a little). DON'T drain the oil.

Leave the cooked sausage in the saucepan. Sprinkle flour onto the sausage and stir until all the sausage is covered in flour evenly. Next, pour milk onto the sausage until the sausage is basically covered. Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Cook on med. heat. Stir constantly until it thickens to desired thickness, if it is too thick, add more milk.

If you don't have a nonstick sauce pan, add 1 Tbsp butter to the bottom of the pan before browning sausage.
