Welcome to FlyerTalk. ^
US CBP will let you pass the border but, depening on the agent you get, you might get an earful about how "irresponsible" you are, how we are living in a "post 9/11-era", how they are being nice to let you "get away with this", etc. But as a US Citizen, they do have to admit you if they are satisifed that you are a US Citizen which they will be with an expired passport. You shouldn't have a big problem, but expect it to take a little extra time.
Be sure to come back and let us know how it turns out. When are you traveling back?

That's an excellent idea, but it doesn't bother to answer the OP's question.
