Nibble on these cheesy bites as a party appetizer or afternoon snack. Bake all 60 pieces because these savory morsels will disappear quickly.
Ingredients
Cooking Spray
10 ounces bulk Hot Italian Sausage
3 cups Self-Rising Flour
6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce
1 1/4 cups grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Steps:

  • Directions Preheat the oven to 400F and arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Coat two baking sheets with the cooking spray. Cook the sausage in a medium skillet over medium high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and no pink remains. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Combine the flour and butter in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some larger chunks of butter remaining. Drizzle in the buttermilk and tabasco and pulse just until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out into a large bowl and fold in the sausage and cheese. Using two spoons, shape the dough into walnut-size balls and drop on to the baking sheets. Bake, switching and rotating the pans halfway through baking until golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then use a spatula to remove and transfer to a platter. Bake the remaining sausage bites in the same manner.

SAUSAGES WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sausages (spicy Italian, mild Italian, plant-based, etc.)
2 orange bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 white onions, halved and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat a large braiser or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausages and brown on all sides until browned but not cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and let cool until cool enough to handle, then slice them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the vegetables over low heat until they're very soft, beginning to caramelize and have some spots of browning, about 40 minutes. If the vegetables start to look like they're getting too browned too quickly, add a splash of water to deglaze.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and the sausages to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking until the sausages are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off.
  • Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a high-quality sausage. Look for one that is made with fresh, flavorful meat.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the sausage bites in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To make the sausage bites ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through.
  • You can also freeze the sausage bites for up to 2 months. To freeze them, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then, transfer them to an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are heated through.

Conclusion:

These sausage bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them spicy, cheesy, or herby, there is a sausage bite recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give these sausage bites a try.
