Bacon, Egg and Cheese Muffins
A couple weeks ago I decided to try and made a batch of bacon, egg and cheese muffins. I didn't want a homemade version of McDonald's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit... but I wanted a muffin with shredded bits of bacon, egg and cheese throughout. Here's how it turned out:

We started by slicing turkey bacon into thin little strips. Pork bacon will work just as well. The turkey bacon was slightly healthier though... but it's still bacon.
After slicing the bacon and scrambling some eggs, we threw everything in a bowl and mixed in some shredded cheddar cheese. Once everything is mixed you'll add your muffin mix.
Apparently there is no such thing as plain muffin mix any more so we had to get a box of blueberry muffin mix. If you ever wondered how many blueberries are in a box of Jiffy blueberry muffin mix, here's your answer...
There was enough mix to make three tins worth of muffins. We ended up making half with muffin mix and the other half with pancake mix.
In the end the pancake mix ended up looking almost identical to the muffins made with muffin mix, though the muffin mix kind had a little blueberry flavor left in them even though all the blueberries were removed.
These turned out to be pretty delicious. Each bite had a little bit of bacon, a little cheese and some egg. It worked out really well. And they look awesome.
