Ingredients:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ground Beef: <\/strong>We recommend lean ground beef because of the vitamins and minerals beef provides. But, you can also use ground turkey, ground chicken, cooked bacon bites, or any other protein you have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs: <\/strong>The whole eggs are the base of your muffin cup and will bind all the ingredients together. If you’d rather use egg whites, you can do that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetables: <\/strong>The onion, spinach and bell peppers add texture, flavor and nutrients your body needs. You can choose on the type of bell peppers you use — red bell peppers, green bell pepper or yellow bell pepper. I like to use fresh spinach in this recipe, but you can use thawed frozen spinach. Just be sure to get all the water out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheddar Cheese: <\/strong>We love cheese. In this recipe, it adds that gooey, melty goodness that everyone loves. You can use a different type of cheese or leave it out all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasonings: <\/strong>Kosher salt and black pepper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Variations:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
