Instructions
- How to Make Christmas Sausage Stuffing BitesPinStep 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, prepared stuffing mix, chopped onions, shredded cheddar, fresh parsley, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly distributed. Add the melted butter and mix well to bind the ingredients together.
Spoon the mixture into the mini muffin tin, pressing down gently to pack each bite. Aim for a slight dome on top for that appealing bite-sized look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crispy. Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin.
