2. You can also try using a turkey or other kind of sausage in this recipe if you are looking for something different. As long as the sausage has been precooked- you should be okay.
3. An average sized muffin pan was used to make my muffins. You can alternatively make this in a jumbo muffin pan or a mini muffin pan (baking time may differ).
4. You can sprinkle grated or shredded cheese on top to make your muffins even better.

6. The muffins are baked through when they are golden around the edges and they can spring back after lightly touching them on top.
