Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
Dairy and Cheese:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups (170 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Starches and Binders:
- 4 cups (454 grams) frozen shredded hash browns
- 1.5 cups (188 grams) Bisquick
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400°F, generously coating a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent potential sticking and ensure easy removal of the cups.
- Thoroughly combine ground sausage, cream cheese, shredded hash browns, Bisquick, and cheddar cheese in a spacious mixing bowl, working the ingredients until they form a cohesive, well-integrated mixture.
- Carefully craft uniform balls approximately one inch in diameter from the prepared mixture, gently nestling each into the greased muffin compartments and pressing softly to create compact, rounded shapes.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven, allowing the cups to bake for 22-25 minutes, monitoring their transformation until the surfaces develop a rich, golden-brown coloration and the interiors reach a firm, set consistency.
- Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and permit the cheesy sausage hashbrown cups to rest for 3-5 minutes, enabling them to slightly cool and solidify before carefully extracting from the muffin tin.
- Serve the cups warm, offering a delightful breakfast or brunch option that combines savory sausage, melted cheese, and crispy potato elements in a convenient, handheld format.
Notes
- Keep your hashbrown cups stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and texture.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to restore their crispy exterior and prevent sogginess.
- Customize the recipe by adding diced bell peppers, green onions, or swapping cheddar for pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.
