Busy Day Bacon Muffins

We like muffins with soups, and this one from "Taste of Home Soups” was quick and easy on a busy day.  I usually cool and freeze any leftovers, and we reheat them in the microwave, wrapped in a paper towel or napkin, to fill out about any meal. 

I should have crumbled my bacon a little more; the larger pieces made the tops of some of my muffins not so pretty, but the flavor and texture are great.  I think muffins are one of the best uses for baking mixes like these.

Busy Day Bacon Muffins

Cook and drain bacon according to package directions; drain.

Combine biscuit mix and sugar in a large bowl.  In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine milk and egg.  Stir into dry ingredients until just moistened.  Fold in bacon.

Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full.  Bake at 400° for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean.
