Original Recipe Yield 24 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained
  • 2 (15 ounce) packages refrigerated pie crusts
  • 2 cups chunky-style salsa, drained
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  2. Unwrap piecrusts and roll each out to slightly thinner than original thickness. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter to cut circles out of crust; gently press each circle into bottom and up the sides of ungreased muffin cup baking pans (crust will not reach top of tin). If necessary, re-roll dough scraps to make additional dough circles.
  3. Combine cooked sausage with remaining ingredients; mix well. Spoon mixture into each crust, filling about 3/4 full.
  4. Bake 40 minutes or until crust is browned.

Footnotes

  • Time Saving Tip: One package of 9.6 oz fully cooked Jimmy Dean® Hearty Sausage Crumbles may be substituted for one 16 oz. roll of fresh breakfast sausage in most dishes.
