These are pretty good. I made a few changes to suit my mood - a blend of mexican cheese for the cheddar, no bacon, and some finely diced pickled jalapeno pepper. Based on that variation, I think some corn meal would have been good in place of some flour. I think that if I had used the bacon, it would have helped balance the muffin a little more.
