Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen shredded hashbrowns thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives or green onions finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sour cream, salsa, or your favorite hot sauce

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Large Skillet
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter, or line it with silicone muffin liners for easy removal.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through, with no pink remaining. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry shredded hashbrowns with the cooked and drained breakfast sausage.

  4. To the hashbrown and sausage mixture, add the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped chives (or green onions), and black pepper. Mix everything together gently until all the ingredients are well combined.

  5. Divide the hashbrown and sausage mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing it down gently into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to form mini "cups" or "bites." Aim for about 1/4 cup of mixture per muffin cup.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the hashbrowns are golden brown and crispy around the edges, and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
  7. Once baked, carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Let the Easy Hashbrown Sausage Bites for Breakfast cool in the tin for a few minutes before gently removing them. Serve warm, and enjoy them with your favorite toppings!
