Instructions
Step 1 — Preheat the Oven

Mix again by hand or with a sturdy spoon until a thick dough forms.
The mixture should be moist enough to stick together but not wet.
If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoons more milk.
Step 5 — Shape the Sausage Bites
Roll mixture into balls about 1–1½ inches in diameter.
Place on your prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
Step 6 — Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until:
