I don’t think I’ve ever made this recipe the same, here are some great choices for additional ingredients or substitutions.
- Ham: perfect for using up any leftover ham.

Hi Karrie, my son loves this recipe so I make it often just for him.
Has anyone figured out the calorie value of these muffins? They are delicious and very filling
Thanks so much for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Made this yesterday. Skipped the peppers(do not like them), and used frozen shredded hashbrowns and bulk sausage instead of links. Was delicious!!!
I’m looking forward to trying this next time I have big eaters over. Looks delicious!
This certainly is the recipe for those big eaters 🙂
That is so nice! In fact, I think I’d love it! Set a fork out for me too, please!
