Print Recipe

Make-Ahead Sausage Hashbrown Bites are crispy, savory breakfast morsels featuring golden hashbrowns, flavorful breakfast sausage, and melty cheese. Perfect for busy mornings or brunch, these bite-sized treats are easy to prepare in advance, freezer-friendly, and customizable to suit your taste or dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen hashbrowns (thawed and drained)
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and crumbled. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the thawed and drained hashbrowns, cooked sausage, shredded cheese, eggs, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. Form the Bites: Using a spoon or your hands, form the mixture into bite-sized balls or mini patties. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a muffin tin for easy baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Bake the bites for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy on the outside and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Store: Let the bites cool completely before storing them in an airtight container or freezing for later use.

Notes

  • Drain hashbrowns thoroughly to avoid soggy bites and to ensure crispiness.
  • Use sharp or flavorful cheeses to enhance taste without adding extra salt.
  • Do not overfill muffin tins to allow even cooking and crispy edges.
  • Freeze uncooked bites on a baking sheet before transferring to bags to prevent sticking.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer to maintain a crispy texture; avoid microwaving.
