I saw this recipe the other day at the Cooking During Stolen Moments blog (one of my daily favorites) I have used several of her recipes and they always come out great. My husband’s middle name is bacon so I knew I had to try this out. These came out so moist and delicious! I used regular bacon, no maple or other flavor, and sharp cheese. I hope there are some left over to take to work on Monday!

Bacon & Cheese Muffins
• 4 c. flour
• 4 t. baking powder
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/2 t. black pepper
• 2 1/2 c. milk
• 1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted and cooled
• 2 eggs
• 1 lb. bacon, diced, cooked and degreased
• 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter or margarine and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
2. Fold in the bacon and cheese just until combined. Scoop into greased or lined muffin tins. Only fill your muffin tins to about 3/4 of the way full or they will overflow the tin.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden brown. This made about 20 muffins for my size muffin pan. Be sure to check your oven often at about the 15 minute mark so they don’t burn. Mine were done at about 18 minutes.
