I love long weekends.
There's just something about waking up on the Monday morning of a holiday weekend with a smile on your face, feeling like you've cheated the system with that extra morning to sleep in.
In true summer fashion our Memorial Day weekend was jam packed with sun filled adventures including the Austin Music and Wine Festival, lounging by the pool and a Sunday night BBQ with some of our favorites.
And everyone knows when you have plans all weekend long breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day because with so many plans you never know when your next meal will be.
I woke up Saturday morning craving a baked good, but wanting something savory at the same time.
Luckily, I came upon this recipe for Bacon & Cheddar Muffins in an online Bisquick magazine and couldn't have been happier about the ease of preparation (and taste of course).
Bacon & Cheddar Muffins
recipe by Bisquick
Oven: 400 Bake time: 16-19 minutes
Makes 10 muffins or 5 large muffins
4 strips of bacon
1 egg
2 cups of Bisquick
3/4 cup of cheddar cheese
3/4 cup of milk
2 TBS butter, melted
1/4 tsp chili powder
Preheat oven to 400 and line muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large skillet, cook bacon until nice and crispy.
Remove from skillet, allowing bacon to cool, crumble and set aside.
In a large bowl lightly whisk egg.
Add Bisquick, milk, butter, and chili powder and mix until combined.
Fold in cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin- filling each about 3/4 full.
Transfer to oven and bake 16-19 minutes or until muffins have lightly browned.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
Serve with eggs.
Do anything fun this weekend?
Happy Baking!

Yum...I always have a packet of Bisquick in the cabinet, and I'm always looking for new things to make with it. Saving this one as I have all the ingredients on hand...we do breakfast-for-dinner about once a week at my house, and these would be a great addition!
This would put an even BIGGER smile on my face!
Looks like a great muffin, top with a fried egg and I would be in hog heaven.
Bisquick rocks, doesn't it. I always keep a box in the cupboard as well. Bacon and cheddar in a muffin sounds like my kind of breakfast food. Just scramble an egg to put in the middle and breakfast is ready!
What a perfect muffin! Love the savory-ness with the bacon and cheddar. Delish!
Mmmmm, that recipe does look easy and delicious! That's just how I like em!
I like a savory muffin and a simple recipe with bacon and cheese, how can you go wrong? They look perfect for a leisurely holiday breakfast, please pass the coffee;-)
Good morning to me! Those look great.
These would be a great grab and go breakfast for a road trip we might be going on this weekend. I need to save this recipe. These muffins look incredible. Yummy!
Sometimes breakfast just needs to be something savory...
Bacon+cheese=muffin? sold sold sold
I love bisquick!! Always have that box sitting in my pantry.
Great muffin... can't go wrong with bacon! :)
Bacon and cheddar muffins sound heavenly.
Oh my these muffins look amazing. Anything with bacon is calling my name! :)
Bacon and cheddar....great savory combo.
These muffins sound so lovely, combining bacon and cheddar...yum! Just have a question what exactly is Bisquick? (haven't seen any around shops in Europe) and what could it be replaced with? Thanks a lot and have a nice day! :)
@Gourmantine- Bisquick is a pancake/baking mix that already has some fats and baking powder mixed in.. I research a little and found that: 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon Crisco
Mix dry ingredients together, then using a pastry knife cut the Crisco into the mix. Makes 1 cup Bisquick equivalent.
I've never tried it though so I don't know how well it works! If you try it let me know! :)
I only had bacon and cheddar in biscuits but not muffins. They sound like a savory sweet treat!
I'm already looking forward to the next holiday :)
These seem perfect for weekend breakfast, Evan!
These muffins sounds wonderful! You can never go wrong with bacon and cheddar:)
These would be great to wake up too. Bacon and cheddar, enough said. So glad you had a great weekend, I was lucky to get a little extra sleep myself. Yeah this week is already half over.

Oh Wow!! These muffins look awesome! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so I can't wait to try these. Thanks for sharing!
I bet these smell great baking first thing in the morning! Something different to go along with scrambled eggs or a nice cheese omelet.
