Cheesy Sausage English Muffins

This recipe was given to me by some wonderful friends in North Carolina.  It's one of my kids' FAVORITE breakfasts.

Cheesy Sausage English Muffins

5 English muffins, halved
1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage
1 cup Cheese Whiz

Slice English muffins in half and lay on a baking sheet.  Brown sausage in skillet over medium heat, breaking apart into small pieces.  Once sausage is cooked through, turn off heat and add Cheese Whiz, stirring until melted.  Top each muffin with about 1/4 cup of filling, dividing evenly amongst them.  Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees, until muffins are crisp and sausage mixture is browned.
