I made these and put them in the freezer for DD and SIL. They loved them! After defrosting them in the microwave, they popped them into the toaster oven and lightly toasted them giving them a nice crunch. The recipe is super easy and I used a very lean bulk sausage which produced virtually no grease, the onions were added when the sausage was almost done and the eggs were beaten and poured into the pan on top of the cooked sausage. These are something I would make again. -
Loved these! I used bacon instead of sausage, but other than that followed the recipe. This was very quick to make up this morning, even making extras for the freezer. If they reheat anywhere near as good as they were fresh, then these will definitely be have a place in my OAMC plans! -
My kids love these...I make a very similar recipe myself. My kids are sausage mcmuffin fans so I will do those up ahead as well and freeze. -
These were really good. I omitted the cheese and I used Jimmy Dean reduced fat sausage in the 12oz tube with the new heart healthy tortillas. Double of this recipe made 18. After cooling the meat mixture and wrapping it in the tortillas I wrapped the filled burrito in foil and placed them in freezer bags in batches of 4. We unwrap them from the foil, defrost for 2 minutes and cook on high for 1 minute. The plate gets very HOT so I use paper towls in the micro or have a cool plate ready. It is so great to have an easy, healthy, hot breakfast.Thanks for posting this one.

I just put these in the freezer, but of course, my son had to try it right away. He said it is excellent. Very easy. I love that they can just microwave these themselves for a quick breakfast! Thanks Little Bee!

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
