Recipe Notes
The Cheddar Flavored French Fried Onions really added some great flavor to this dish. They are optional...but a really tasty option.
You need to be sure the muffin mix cooks all the way through. That is one reason it is good to have the muffin layer be very thin...nothing worse than partially cooked muffin!
This is good with some tortilla chips and sour cream on the side!
