Preheat oven to 400°.

Cook bacon until crisp. Drain and reserve drippings. If necessary, add oil to drippings to measure 1/3 cup total. When cooled, crumble bacon and set aside.

In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup drippings, egg and milk.

In large bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder.

Make a little well in the center of the mixture. Add drippings/egg/milk all at once to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Batter should be a little lumpy.

Fold in bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, and cereal.

Spoon mixture into buttered or paper lined muffin pan, filling about 3/4 full.

Bake about 15 minutes or until golden.
