For the Bites

1 lb ground pork sausage
3 cups dry stuffing mix (such as herb-seasoned)
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

7Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
8To the bowl with the sausage, add the cooked onion and celery, dry stuffing mix, chicken broth, beaten eggs, dried sage, and black pepper.
9Stir until all ingredients are evenly moistened and combined.
10Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups, pressing gently to fill each cup to the top.
11Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the bites are set.
