100% would make again

I invented these cute little muffins so I could enjoy the flavor of cheeseburgers without resorting to fast food. I often freeze a batch and reheat however many I need. They're also great as appetizers. -Teresa Kraus, Cortez, Colorado

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

Just made these today and I followed the ideas of the previous comment. I did twice the meat and added taco seasoning to it. The kids loved them!

These were pretty good, but the muffin tasted very floury and it over powered the hamburger. I think I will use more hamburger next time and cook it with a hamburger seasoning. Still going to make them again. I also added real bacon bits.
