I enjoyed these. Really added a lot of BBQ sauce on top, and it helped with the dryness of pork. They were fantastic the next day, sliced and made into sandwiches!

Surprisingly, I didn't care for these as much as I thought I would, but the wife really liked 'em. THANKS!!!

These were super tasty! I doubled the recipe and added equal portions of ground turkey breast / pork sausage. I added homemade BBQ sauce into the mixture and extra on top. I made 18 cupcake size muffins for about 113 cals each. Served with roasted carrots and green beans. My picky kids loved them!
