they were delicious but were rubbery after being frozen and thawed. They were yummy when fresh!!
Melissa says
Sorry they they were rubbery. I agree that they are not as good as they are when fresh but my family still enjoys them reheated.
Katie V says
My husband loves these! I’ve never made them with the potatoes on the bottom so I think I’ll add those next time. Thanks for the tip!

What a great idea to make this in a muffin pan! I’ve made similar recipes before because we love the sausage and egg bakes but always in the 9 X 13 pan. This is fun!

These look delicious! Could we reheat them in an oven for a few minutes?
Melissa says
Yes, that should be fine. I usually reheat them in the microwave but the oven would work too.
