  • 1 cup onion
  • 1/2 pound ground pork

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F and spray a regular size muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Finely dice bell peppers and onion.
  3. In a bowl combine pork, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and Mrs. Dash seasoning to make sausage.
  4. In a nonstick skillet, cook sausage crumbles until done; drain.

  • Try Homemade Sausage or Homemade Turkey Sausage from the DaVita.com recipe collection to replace the sausage mixture.
  • A regular size muffin tin cup holds 3-1/2 ounces. Use a smaller muffin tin if desired, but reduce the cooking time.
