Freezer Sausage and Egg Breakfast Burritos
"With one DD commuting to college and the other one catching an early bus to high school, I've tried to come up with quick, tasty, on-the-go breakfasts. O.K., so bagels and muffins are good sometimes, but I wanted them to have a healthy meal. This is a combination of 3 different recipes that I have tweeked so that the girls will actually eat them! (Cooking time is for reheating in the microwave)"

These are great breakfast burritos, wonderful flavor. I cut the recipe in half and didn't freeze any this time, other than that I made as written. Next time I'll add a can of diced potatoes. *Made for Fall 2008 My 3 Chefs* Thanks!

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
