Expert Tips

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.
Want to dip these? Honey mustard or barbecue sauce works great as a dip on the side.
