Freezer Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Burritos

"Like most teens, my DD didn't have a lot of time for a healthy breakfast, and at most would just grab a bagel on the way out the door. Since she likes things pretty mild, I came up with these tasty breakfast burritos. They are so easy. She just heats one in the microwave and takes it with her to the bus stop. (Cooking time is for reheating in the microwave)"

  1. Made these during my last OAMC session. They were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the onions as my kids aren't crazy about onions. I didn't add any of the optional items either.
     
  2. These are such a great idea. I followed your recipe but I also added cooked potatoes and they were delicious. Just grab one from the freezer in the morn, nuke it, and you have a great breakfast or snack. Thanks for the recipe Denise.

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
