Tips:

  • For a crispier bite, use a combination of ground pork and beef. This will also help keep them moist.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the meat and onion by hand. Just make sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices. You could add a teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to the meat mixture for a more flavorful bite.
  • If you're using a muffin tin, grease the cups lightly with cooking spray or line them with paper liners to prevent the sausage bites from sticking.
  • Bake the sausage bites until they're cooked through and browned on the edges. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the sausage bites hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.
