This is so timely as we are housing some staff for our church’s summer camp program this week! I will be whipping these up tomorrow so they can grab these in the morning!

kathy lunt says
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!
Lory from The Robin's Nest Designs says
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 are so easy and delicious will be making again,!
Melissa says
Thanks! I love that it is such an easy breakfast recipe.
Sherry says
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.
Lynne Zemaitis says
Yum! Such a great breakfast treat! Thank you so much for sharing at Tuesday Turn About!
Angie Walker says
I used thawed tater tots, added chopped onion, garlic, and power greens to the sausage cooking process.
Tracy Lynn says
I have been wanting to make these forever, defiantly going to try them this weekend. It’s going to be a warm and sunny day and that means lots of spring projects to tackle. What a great way to get the day started without having to be stuck in the kitchen cooking.
So glad I saw this on the Homestead blog hop!
