This recipe is perfect for appetizers, breakfast, snacks, or gifts. They are packed with protein and won't leave you feeling hungry. The best feature is that just about everyone loves them- even picky kids! So without further ado, I give you the most versatile of treats: the Sausage Muffin.

Sausage Muffins
3 Tbs. butter
1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups baking mix (The Bisquick-type stuff in case you were wondering!)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup sausage, browned drained and crumbled

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat  and add onion. Cook 3-5 min or til' tender.
• Combine baking mix and cheese.
• Combine milk and egg and add to cheese mixture, mixing just until moistened.
• Stir in onion and sausage.
• Spoon into muffin cups sprayed with Pam.
• Bake at 425* for 18 minutes or until golden.
• Let stand 2-3 minutes before removing from pans.

 Makes 1 dozen muffins

Variations:

• Use reduced fat baking mix and skim milk. Reduce butter to 1 Tbs. (I use this method)
• Use ham instead of sausage
• Use shredded chicken instead of sausage and add 1 (4oz.) can of chopped green chiles and Mexican blend cheese.
• Make mini muffins using a mini muffin tin and bake at 425* for 14 min. Makes 2 dozen.
