Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) ground breakfast sausage
- 1.5 cups Bisquick
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Ignite the oven to 400°F and generously coat a baking dish or muffin tray with cooking spray, ensuring a seamless release of the delectable hashbrown bites.
- Blend Flavor Powerhouse: In a capacious mixing bowl, orchestrate a symphony of cream cheese, crumbled sausage, frozen shredded potatoes, Bisquick, and sharp cheddar, massaging the ingredients until they meld into a harmonious mixture.
- Shape and Arrange: Mold the mixture into compact, spherical morsels roughly one inch in diameter, positioning them strategically on the prepared baking surface with ample breathing room to guarantee crisp, evenly bronzed exteriors.
- Bake to Perfection: Slide the tray into the preheated oven and allow the bites to undergo a transformative 20-25 minute culinary journey, emerging with a golden-brown shell and a fully cooked, robust interior.
- Rest and Serve: Carefully extract the tray from the oven, permitting the hashbrown sausage bites a momentary respite to concentrate their flavors before presenting these irresistible morsels as a tantalizing appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Prep Precision: Ensure potatoes are thoroughly thawed and excess moisture is patted dry for crispier, more cohesive hashbrown bites.
- Size Matters: Maintain consistent one-inch bite sizes for uniform cooking and attractive presentation, using damp hands to prevent sticking.
- Cheese Selection: Use freshly shredded sharp cheddar instead of pre-packaged for superior melting and richer flavor profile.
- Cooling Technique: Allow bites to rest 3-5 minutes after baking to set internal structure and enhance overall texture, preventing potential burning when handling.
