Tips & Tricks

In case you can’t find mini sausages at your local store, use regular-sized sausages. Cut them into 1 ½-inch pieces and you’re good to go.

You can assemble these sausages way ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Bake them right from the freezer once guests arrive and increase the baking time by 5 minutes.
