Bacon Wrapped Breakfast Cups with Jimmy Dean

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2
   Place a cooling rack on top of a long baking rack.
3. 3
   Lay the bacon across, lengthwise across the cooling rack.
4. 4
   Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Bacon should be cooked but still somewhat limp. Allow to cool before lining in a cupcake tin.
5. 5
   While the bacon is cooking, use a medium saut pan and cook the ground pork sausage on medium heat. Cook until brown and use a spatula to break the sausage.
6. 6
   Drain the excess grease.
7. 7
   Using a potato masher, mash the tatertots and add the ground pork sausage to the tatertots and stir to combine.
8. 8
   Spray a cupcake liner with non-stick spray. Take a single piece of bacon and wrap on the inside of a cupcake tin. Use your hands to stuff the inside of the bacon with the potato and sausage mixture. Use a thumbprint and leave an indention in the middle of the potato mixture and crack an egg in the middle of the potato mixture.
9. 9
   Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or longer depending on egg preference. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and carefully remove from cupcake tin and place on a serving tray.
