Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Spicy breakfast sausage is a great choice for this recipe, but any cooked breakfast sausage works. For a time saver, consider using precooked breakfast sausage crumbles found in the freezer section of your grocery store.
  • tip 2
    Want to dip these? Honey mustard or barbecue sauce works great as a dip on the side.
