We can hardly call this a recipe since there are only three ingredients. The flavors of these ingredients are wonderful. These easy breakfast hits are great to make ahead and store in the freezer until ready to serve. We share them with love, as these are a staple in our family holiday gatherings. Whip up some scrambled eggs while these bake and you have a complete breakfast. We’ve made these countless times, and they are a favorite on our site!
2 lb ground breakfast sausage (Owens or Jimmy Deans)
2 packages of English Muffins, halved
2 jars of Old English Cheese (these come in small jars and are found near the Parmesan cheese)
Brown and crumble sausage in a large skillet (using a potato masher for this step makes it very easy), add the jars of cheese mixing, and cook until warm and melted. After the cheesy sausage mixture is warm and combined, use a fork to pack 2-3 tablespoons of the sausage/cheese onto the English muffin. Cover the muffin with a thin layer. Put the ready muffins on a cookie sheet and quick freeze (10-20 minutes). Once semi-frozen, place muffins in a large ziploc bag and freeze.
When ready to serve, preheat over to 350. Cook on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes or until heated through. If you are serving a large group, using a pizza cutter to make small wedges is a helpful tip. You may easily half this recipe, using one package of each ingredient.
* if you want to kick it up a notch, you can use one lb of medium and 1 lb of hot sausage.
