Move over pigs in blankets there's a new xmas side dish in town!! Try these super simple stuffing bites with your Christmas dinner this year, you can make them ahead and reheat on the big day, saving time for an extra buck fizz!!
Prep time 15mins
Cooking time 30 mins approx
1.5tbsp butter
1 large onion, sliced finely
15g fresh sage or a small handful, roughly chopped
12 pork sausages skin removed
24 rashers of smoked streaky bacon.
Preheat the oven to 170c
In a sauté pan, or frying pan, add the butter on a medium heat, once the butter is melted add the sliced onion and gently sauté for 5mins, until just soft.
Now add your chopped sage and cook for another 2 mins, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl add the sausage meat and the cooled onion mix.
With clean hands, mix it all together until well combined.
Lightly grease your muffin tin with cooking oil
Line each muffin tin with the bacon, try to leave no gaps. I used about 2 rashers per mould, cut in half or thirds, whatever works best so that when you place the stuffing mix in you have enough over lap to seal it. This will depend on which muffin tin your using. See my YouTube video for a tutorial (some things are better to explain visually 😅)
Once lined place enough stuffing meat in to fill it up and then seal with the bacon.
Pop into your preheated oven for 15mins, after this time gently use a spoon and turn the stuffing bombs over, be careful as they will be hot. This will crisp up the tidier side. Pop back in the oven for another 15mins or until crisp and browned.
Enjoy!!
