Robin's Creamy, Cheesy Sausage Puffs instructions

1. Sausage filling can be made in advance and refrigerated. I refrigerate mine before using..
2. Cook the sausage, drain the grease and place in a mixing bowl..
3. Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon until everything is fully incorporated. Set aside or refrigerate..
4. For the puff pastry, cube the butter. Add the flour (salt if needed) and cubed butter to a bowl. Place the bowl into the refrigerator to make everything cold..
