In tribute:
1 pound of Jimmy Dean sausage (I prefer ‘hot’)
1 stick of Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar cheese.
4 cups of Bisquick or similar (I prefer Pioneer Brand)
Mix together by hand. Make into biscuits, bake for approximately 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
This news makes me sad, but what an interesting and positive life!
