Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1 (20 oz) bag frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick or baking mix
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional: Chopped chives, hot sauce, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine sausage, thawed hash browns, cheese, Bisquick, and spices until evenly mixed.
- Shape: Roll mixture into golf ball-sized portions (about 1 1/2 tbsp) and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Cook 20–25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let cool slightly and serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch, Dijon mustard, or chipotle mayo.
Notes
- If mixture feels too wet, add extra Bisquick; if too dry, add a splash of milk.
- Use room-temperature sausage and thawed hash browns for best texture.
- Rotate pan halfway through baking for even crisping.
- These bites are freezer-friendly—bake from frozen with 5 extra minutes.
