Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground breakfast sausage (uncooked)
8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
1 1/2 cups Bisquick or similar biscuit mix
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 cups frozen hashbrowns (thawed)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground breakfast sausage, softened cream cheese, biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and thawed hashbrowns. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Using clean hands may help achieve better consistency.
Form the Bites: Roll the mixture into small, evenly sized balls, approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring sufficient space between them to prevent sticking during baking.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and the bites have developed a golden-brown exterior. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking to ensure even baking if needed.
Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Sausage Hashbrown Bites to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm but can be served at room temperature as well.

Notes

Make sure hashbrowns are fully thawed to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and better texture.
You can substitute Bisquick with another biscuit or baking mix if preferred.
Ensure the bites are evenly sized for uniform baking.
Serve with ketchup, hot sauce, or sour cream for added flavor.
