 (1) 14-ounce package cocktail-sized smoked sausages, patted dry

 (1) large egg

 everything bagel seasoning (optional)

1/3 c. natural peanut butter

• 1 heaping cup of cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium size bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until well incorporated.

Generously grease a mini muffin tin and evenly distribute the mixture into about 16 of your muffin tin cups.

Use your fingers to squish the mixture down so that it's well compacted.

Top with more cheese and bake in the center rack for 14-16 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.

Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Serve alone or with a little ranch or ketchup for dipping.

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
