Notes
Let the sausage cool some before adding it to the bowl to mix with all the other ingredients. Otherwise it's going to instantly melt the cheese and it will be harder to stir with gooey cheese.
Make these ahead of time and then when it's time to serve pop in the oven for 30 seconds or so to warm up.
I prefer to use a block of cheese and shred it myself. I hate that powdery coating on pre shredded cheese.
I use regular sausage but using the hot version of sausage would also taste really well. Might be suitable for children or really older guest.
The oven temperature is the same most turkeys are cooked at so if you only have one oven you could pop these in the oven with the turkey. They might take a little longer so keep that in mind. Just wait for the tops to start browning.
