Festive Sausage Cups image

When I used prepared pie crust for this recipe, it's even easier to form and fill these individual sausage cups. They are a savory and filling snack. Come Thanksgiving and Christmas, my family is especially delighted to see them. - Gail Watkins, South Bend, Indiana

These sausage cups were a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was dry. I won't be making them again.

I've tried several different recipes for sausage cups and this one is by far the best. The addition of the cream cheese makes them extra creamy and flavorful.

These sausage cups were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more cheese next time.

These sausage cups are a great way to use up leftover sausage. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables.
