Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns thawed
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, thawed hash browns, and Bisquick mix. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the Bites: Form the mixture into balls approximately 1½ inches in size using a scoop or your hands. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
- Bake the Bites: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The sausage should be fully cooked, and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy ketchup.
Notes
Try variations like using chicken or turkey sausage, or swapping cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella. Add herbs or spices like parsley or paprika, and consider gluten-free alternatives if needed.
