Amazing Muffin Cups







These muffin cups really taste amazing just like the title says!   I  made this recipe from Allrecipes.com.   These are easy to make and the whole family loved them.  I made half the batch exactly like the recipe.  The other half I made low carb by leaving out the hash brown base. The Johnsonville sausage really makes these taste delish! I plan on making these again real soon. Enjoy!
