Amazing Breakfast Muffin Cups

This is a wonderful "all-in-one" breakfast treat! You end up with your hash browns, sausage, eggs, and cheese in one easy to eat and enjoy muffin-sized treat!

The only changes I made to the recipe below were to use fresh potatoes (3 smallish / medium sized ones), grated and then I blotted as much excess liquid as I could get with some paper towels. I used margarine in place of butter, cheddar cheese instead of Mexican-blend and I omitted the chives / green onion. I didn't fit the full sausage link per muffin cup because I was afraid they wouldn't fit - but maybe they would have; I'll have to try filling them a little fuller next time.

I love how easy these are to throw in the refrigerator, or wrap and freeze, then reheat for a quick and filling breakfast another day!

The Johnsonville sausage links are delicious - and this is one of many wonderful ways to enjoy them!
