Easy Sausage Muffins
Ingredients (makes 12 muffins):
-
1 lb ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1 cup milk
-
1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 eggs, beaten

Optional: diced bell pepper, green onion, or a pinch of garlic/onion powder
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
-
Cook the sausage:
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled.
-
Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
-
-
Mix the batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add in the milk and beaten eggs, stir until just combined.
