Sausage Stuffing Cream Cheese Bites Recipes

SAUSAGE STUFFING CREAM CHEESE BITES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Remove puff pastry from the freezer and allow it to thaw for about 15 min. until you can unfold it without breaking. (Make sure you don't let it get too warm.)
• Prepare the STOVE TOP Stuffing according to instructions on box and set aside. In a skillet on stove top, cook sausage until browned and crumbled, set aside.
• In a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix together cream cheese and 1 egg until creamed together and smooth. Stir in cooked sausage until fully incorporated. Gently fold in stuffing with a spatula.
• Unfold the puff pastry sheets, roll out each sheet and cut into 12 squares. (The squares don't have to be perfect but each should be about 3-1/2-inch square.) Press 1 square on bottom and up side of each of 24 nonstick muffin pan cups. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with a fork to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the puff pastry, especially the edges. (This will give the pastry a darker golden finish. If you don't use an egg wash that is fine, you'll just get a paler finish.)
• Using a cookie scoop, divide the sausage-cream cheese mixture among the puff pastry cups, using 2 heaping teaspoons of filling per cup. Bake for 12 to 15 min. or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Top with a dollop of cranberry sauce, or serve it on the side. Serve immediately.

Pour onion mixture into a large bowl and stir in remaining bread cubes, sausage, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Watch your hands, it's hot. Mix well. This stuffing is ready for baking.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH CREAM CHEESE & SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
• Separate caps and stems while cleaning the mushrooms.
• If cleaning with water, let them drain for a bit.
• Start cooking the sausage in frying pan, at a medium to medium/high temperature.
• While the sausage is cooking, put the cream cheese into a mixing bowl so it can soften and mince the stem pieces.
• Spice the sausage to taste. Garlic is a good addition.
• Just before the sausage is done, add the stem pieces and finish cooking.
• Drain off the excess grease and add the sausage/stem mixture into the cream cheese.
• Mix together well using a wooden spoon or your hands. Be careful, as it will be rather hot.
• Set the caps into a 13x9 pan (or larger) with sides.
• Optional! Melt enough butter to just put a little in the bottom of each cap or just brush some over the top of each after they're filled. You can put any extra butter in the bottom of the pan.
• Fill the caps with the cream cheese/sausage/stem mix.
• Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan, just enough to cover the bottom.
• Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the tops are crusty and the mushrooms have turned dark.
• Scoop them out of the pan with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a plate.
• Serve warm. They reheat well, so you can make them ahead of time.
• *VARIATION 1: Add dried bread crumbs to the mix to make a larger batch without adding more cream cheese or sausage. Onions are also another popular addition.
• *VARIATION 2: Use one 8oz. box of cream cheese to two 8oz. pkgs of sausage. It makes for a larger batch that is less rich and tastes just as good.
• *FUN HINTS: The cream cheese mix is also very good on bread or crackers! This comes in handy if you you think there might be someone who doesn't like mushrooms - save some of the mix to the side for them to dip with.
