Sausage Breakfast Muffins
"I wanted to come up with a filling breakfast for my boys to get them through the morning. Going off a breakfast casserole recipe, I modified it to make these hearty, energy filled muffins. I am going to work on a healthier version next go around, using ground chicken.
*These freeze well.
*Could be baked as a casserole in a 9 x 9 pan. 350 F for approx 1 hour.
*Use glass, ceramic or best choice, stoneware. Metal pans turn the bottoms too dark."

These were phenomenal! I was inspired by the italian seasoning to make these muffins with an italian flare, so I usedlean hot italian turkey sausage, turkey bacon, and turkey pepperoni . I also used 2 whole eggs and 4 egg whites, reduced fat pizza blend cheese and some cubes of ciabatta bread. Wonderful way to use up leftover pizza toppings and so hearty and healthy. Thanks, Ducky, for a sure-fire recipe!
