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
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degree F.

Step 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.

Step 3
Combine cooked sausage with remaining ingredients; mix well. Spoon mixture into each crust, filling about 3/4 full.

Step 4
Bake 40 minutes or until crust is browned.

Tips

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