Tips and Variations

- Freezer-Friendly: Freeze uncooked bites on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5–10 minutes to the cooking time.
- Vegetarian Version: Substitute the meat with cooked lentils or a mix of finely chopped mushrooms and breadcrumbs for a meat-free option.
