I had planned on making these in the near future and wanted to cook them in a trial run to work out any kinks. I was in a bit of a hurry and decided to simply cook them in the oven rather than bust out the smoker and because I like my bacon crispy, I cranked up the heat to 375. Long story short, they turned out great but the top of the cheese was burnt (I simply pulled it off and you could not even tell since it had mushroomed over the top of the "cup"). It got me thinking that I should just precook the cup and sausage bottom and then fill them at the last minute before warming and serving them to get the bacon how I like it without risk of burning the filling.
I free styled a mix of cream cheese and cheddar cheese and it started to congeal and stick to the point where filling the raw cups was a bit messy. Since I am now confident in my ability to assemble and cook the cups (my biggest worry), can someone recommend a good filling recipe/ratio for topping off my pre-assembled cups? I would not mind making a few different varieties of filling either if people are willing to share their thoughts. Thanks
