SIMPLE SAVORY OATMEAL

Want something savory in the morning, but needs to be quick and simple? This is it. I'd compare it most readily to a deluxe cheese grits recipe, but this has no cheese--and grits (unless instant) are typically a bunch more work. This was an alternative for my 10-year-old who always wanted eggs and sausage for breakfast. Fruits and brown sugar in the oatmeal wasn't cutting it.

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage
