Freezer Sausage and Egg Breakfast Burritos

Submitted by Denise in da Kitchen

"With one DD commuting to college and the other one catching an early bus to high school, I've tried to come up with quick, tasty, on-the-go breakfasts. O.K., so bagels and muffins are good sometimes, but I wanted them to have a healthy meal. This is a combination of 3 different recipes that I have tweeked so that the girls will actually eat them!

These are great breakfast burritos, wonderful flavor. I cut the recipe in half and didn't freeze any this time, other than that I made as written. Next time I'll add a can of diced potatoes. *Made for Fall 2008 My 3 Chefs* Thanks!
