Scale
Ingredients
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 ½ cups Bisquick
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground breakfast sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen shredded hash browns, and Bisquick flour. Mix everything thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Form Bites: Using a small scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into balls approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter. Place each ball evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the sausage bites in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and the outsides are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, cheesy hashbrown and sausage bites!
Notes
- You can substitute Bisquick with an equal amount of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder for a similar binding effect.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- For extra crispiness, broil the bites for the last 2 minutes of baking but watch them carefully to prevent burning.
- These bites reheat well in the oven or air fryer for a quick snack or breakfast.
- Feel free to add chopped herbs like chives or parsley for added freshness and flavor.
