Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8
- 1 pound high-quality ground breakfast sausage uncooked
- 8 ounces premium cream cheese brought to room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick or an equivalent high-grade biscuit mix
- 1 1/2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups frozen hashbrowns properly thawed
Preparation: Begin by preheating the oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, which aids in the easy removal of the bites post-baking and maintains cleanliness.
Combining Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the uncooked ground breakfast sausage, room-temperature cream cheese, biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and thawed hashbrowns. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all ingredients.
Forming Bites: Take the mixture and shape it into spheres, each approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place these spheres on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced sufficiently to prevent them from merging during the baking process.
Baking: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Allow the Sausage Hashbrown Bites to bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked and have attained a golden-brown color.
Cooling and Serving: Once the baking is complete, remove the baking sheet from the oven. It is advisable to let the Sausage Hashbrown Bites cool for a short period before serving to ensure they are at a suitable temperature for consumption.
