Crispy hashbrown sausage bites are a delicious and satisfying dish that can be a hit at breakfast or brunch. Here’s a simple recipe to make these tasty bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) ground breakfast sausage
- 1 pound (450g) frozen hashbrowns, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Take a small portion of the hashbrown mixture, about 2 tablespoons, and flatten it in your hand. Place a small amount of ground sausage (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of the hashbrown mixture and then fold the hashbrown mixture around the sausage to form a bite-sized ball. Make sure it’s sealed well.
- Place the hashbrown sausage bites on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used up.
- Lightly spray the tops of the hashbrown sausage bites with cooking spray. This will help them become crispy while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
- Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve your crispy hashbrown sausage bites with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, hot sauce, or even sour cream.
Enjoy your delicious homemade crispy hashbrown sausage bites! They make for a great addition to a breakfast or brunch spread and are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
