Here is some tasty game time man food.
Sausage Bites are a great addition to any party spread. It's not just a football party recipe; these wonderful little appetizers are great for any occasion.
Puff pastry sheets can be purchased at your local grocery store.They are in the freezer section near the pie shells. We like to use a low fat breakfast sausage when making this sausage appetizer because it cuts down on the grease that is generated when cooking.
