Breakfast burritos how to

My hubster gets up way too early for me to even consider making him breakfast.
So when we go grocery shopping, we usually spend a good chunk on frozen breakfast foods.
It's quite sad.
Sad that we spend so much and sad that he eats that crap.
So I decided to make breakfast burritos for him.
It's pretty simple, but I thought I'd share just in case someone needs the how to.

Basically you cook up some eggs


cook up some sausage


Shred some cheese



LET IT COOL COMPLETELY!! -- VERY important or the burritos get soggy.

Lay tortilla shell on foil (Plastic wrap works too. I've used both)


Layer.


Burrito it up.
Roll in foil.
Seal foil.
Freeze.


Last time I made them, I used 2 packages of 8 LARGE tortilla shells, 2 lbs of sausage, a whole carton of eggs, 1 lb of cheese and it made 14 burritos.

*Update**
to cook:
remove foil, microwave 2 minutes. Hubs says for best results flip over halfway through. So 1 min on each side.

Ree Drummond is a flipping genius.

A couple of years ago, I went to a New year's eve party at my friend Kim's house.
She had this chicken dip of awesomeness as a snack to help ward of the drunkeness. (It helped only slightly in case you were wondering).
A bit later, I sent her a message basically begging and pleading for this recipe.
She graciously shared.
I made it.
It's been a favorite around here ever since.
Seriously, we eat it quite often.
And when we host a BBQ or attend a BBQ, I make the chicken dip.
It's always a hit.
Seriously, we had a BBQ when Hubs got back from Afghanistanland for his platoon.... They all told me that they were eager to try it because they'd heard nothing but good things about it for the past year.
About 15 soldiers pigged out that night on this chicken dip.
Kristina's made this chicken dip! Everyone she's ever made it for loved it. She tried to claim it once (no, she really didn't...nobody listened when she said she got the recipe from me) and I set them straight. Ha.

So hubs and I are sitting here the other day. Dinner was in the crockpot. The house was smelling fantastic. (Tex mex chicken minus the corn, add rice, wrapped in tortilla shells). We wanted a snack.
I'd been aching for some chicken dip, so I went to make it....
only to discover we had NO ranch dressing.
I was heartbroken.

LIGHTBULB!

Search the internet for homemade ranch dressing.
Google.....
Then I see the Pioneer Woman's ranch dressing. I told hubs, "score!! Ree Drummond has a recipe for it". He looked at me like I was an alien.
I then go on to tell him, "she's a flipping genius!! She is the one I got the iced coffee recipe from".
He continues with his unexcitement.
So I continue with my excitement, "babe!! Sarah swears by her! She's famous! She has cookbooks!! I WANT THEM!!!!"
He's still unthrilled.
I browse the recipe. Realize I have all the ingredients (except buttermilk, but I made a bm sub-- 1tbsp vinegar, almost a cup of milk poured into it. sit 5 min. tada).
I make it. Taste it. Then yell, "BABE!! REE DRUMMOND IS A FLIPPIN GENIUS!!!"
He say "uh huh..."


I go on to make chicken dip....
then I taste the ranch again and throw it in the fridge with satisfaction.

So in case you didn't know.... Ree Drummond is a flippin' genius.
