Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (cooked and drained)
- 1 ½ cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and drained breakfast sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, thawed shredded hash browns, and Bisquick baking mix. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly blended to create a cohesive mixture.
- Form the Bites: Using a scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1 ½-inch diameter balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet to allow for even cooking and crisping around each bite.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the bites turn golden brown on the outside and are heated through completely, ensuring the sausage and hash browns are cooked to perfection.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bites to cool slightly. Serve warm as a tasty breakfast treat or a satisfying snack. Enjoy the crispy exterior with the savory, cheesy interior!
Notes
- Make sure the hash browns are fully thawed and drained of excess moisture for crispy bites.
- You can substitute Bisquick with your favorite baking mix or all-purpose flour, but the texture may vary slightly.
- For an extra crispy texture, turn the bites halfway through baking.
- These bites can be prepared in advance and frozen before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
- Serve with ketchup, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
