I tried a similar recipe, but instead of the sausage I used Morningstar Farms Meal starters "meat" (soy) crumbles. I heated one serving of those in a skillet with a little onion and distributed them evenly in muffin pans lined with 1-point pilsbury biscuits. I used 1/2 cup egg beaters with a shot or two of hot sauce. Then mixed a 1/4 cup ff cheddar and 1/4 cup regular cheddar together and sprinkled on top of each muffin. Bake for 20 minutes at 350.

My calculations came out to 1 point each! I had three of them for a hot, satisfying 3-point breakfast. You could probably freeze them and pop them in the microwave during the week for an on-the-go breakfast or snack.

Other variations I may try:
Adding any or all of the following:
green pepper, celery, a little shredded potato, rotel tomatoes & chilis, maybe even some broccoli. Adding chicken would also be good, but would increase the points.

This looks like a great recipe I got out of a Freezer cooking book. I'm currently weading through all these recipes trying to put together a Freezer friendly low point notebook of recipes for myself. With 5 other people in the house, I HAVE to have a bunch of microwave meals on hand and these Smart Ones are killing my grocery budget!!

Thanks for the great recipe and please keep them coming!
