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

Big Batch Baked GoodsWe 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

I had a spare 1/2 pound of ground beef and decided to make this recipe. My kids (and myself) couldn't get enough. I like that's more hearty than a regular muffin, but portable for road trips and busy days. I also like that the recipe made a lot (I made the regular sized muffins) so I had quite a bit left over to freeze. Will be making again!

I used Velveeta instead of cheddar cheese. I think Next time I will add chopped fresh Jalapeno pepper. :)

I made a batch of the regular-sized muffins today. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great. They taste strongly of ketchup, so make sure you like that flavor. I like that it is a pretty economical recipe to make and will freeze for easy packable lunches. I'm going to try the previous reviewer's tip about doubling the meat and cutting down on the cheese.

I've made these once before, exactly by the recipe - Very good!! My husband suggested I double the meat and use a little less cheese. Excellent, it seems more like a 'burger' with the added meat. This is a keeper.
