This is exactly what I was looking for! Early in the week I stopped for a coffee and, on a whim, a McD breakfast burrito. How hard can these be to make at home? I quick search turned up your recipe and the results were outstanding! (I think I overcooked the eggs but you warned me!) Next time I think I will add a little chopped sweet red pepper to the mix and watch the pan a little more attentively. By the way, in my opinion, both Jimmy Dean's and Bob Jone's bulk sausage are far superior to what is offered locally here in Minnesota. Thanks Kittencal!
