I made freezer food for members of my church for about 2years, when I lived in Calgary,& this is one of the food items most would have me make over & over again. When I asked them why they said that is was because they didn't have to make breakfast for their kids going on the bus, they just popped these in the oven on low to warm them up & they are ready to go. (plus their kids loved them.) I also did them for a big church function & had to make 24 doz. These went over like hot cakes!! I don't put in green onions, because some don't like them. But I do put salsa & sour cream on the side.

Very easy with ingredients I always have on hand! Haven't done the freezing thing yet-they eat them before I can freeze them!

I know it won't be the same, but I will use salsa instead of bacon grease to cut some of the fat and calories.
