Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Regular Flavor Pork Sausage Roll
  • 2 pkgs. (14.1 ounces each) refrigerated pie crusts (4 crusts)
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) chunky salsa, drained
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain.

2. Unroll 1 pie crust on lightly floured surface. Use lightly floured rolling pin to roll crust into 11-½-inch circle. Cut into 6 circles with 4-inch round cutter, rerolling dough scraps if necessary. Repeat with remaining pie crusts. Gently press 1 circle onto bottom and up side of each of 24 muffin pan cups. (Crusts might not reach tops of cups.).

3. Beat eggs, milk and pepper in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add sausage, salsa and cheese; mix well. Spoon into crusts.

4. Bake 35-40 minutes or until centers of fillings are set and crusts are golden brown.

Cook’s Tip Tarts can be baked ahead of time. Cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze up to 1 month. When ready to serve, preheat oven to 350°F. Place frozen tarts on baking sheet; cover loosely with foil. Bake 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 5-8 minutes or until centers of fillings are thoroughly heated.
