Sausage Hashbrown Bites

A savory appetizer that combines the rich flavors of breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, and crispy hash browns. These bites are easy to make and perfect for gatherings, game days, or as a fun side dish!

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb ground breakfast sausage uncooked

8 oz cream cheese softened

1.5 cups biscuit mix such as Bisquick

1.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded

4 cups shredded hash browns frozen

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, hash browns, and ground breakfast sausage. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Using your hands, shape the mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve on their own or with a dipping sauce like spicy mustard, hollandaise, or ketchup.
