Bacon and Cheese Muffins

Tony LOVES bacon.  When I find a new recipe that uses bacon in a new way I always jump on it and make it as soon as I can. He has been traveling so much the last 4 months that he is usually leaving on Sunday. This week he left on Monday so I got to make these breakfast muffins for him! I got the recipe here, a favorite site I check in on about 1 time a week. I served these muffins with scrambled eggs and blackberries with cream.  It was a great breakfast!

~Recipe~
2 - cups all purpose flour
2 - teaspoons baking powder
1/4 - teaspoon salt
1/4 - teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 - cup milk
1/4 - cup butter or margarine, melted and cooled
1 - egg
1/2 lb - bacon, diced, cooked and degreased
3/4 - cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter or margarine and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Fold in the bacon and cheese just until combined. Scoop into greased or lined muffin tins. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Enjoy~
