Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what comes together to create these delicious bites:
- Frozen shredded hashbrowns
- Ground breakfast sausage (or turkey/chicken sausage)
- Eggs
- Shredded cheese — cheddar or mozzarella
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Olive oil or cooking spray
How to Make Easy Hashbrown Sausage Bites (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 — Prep Your Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin pan or spray it with oil to help the bites crisp and release easily after baking.
Step 2 — Cook the Sausage
Brown your breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it into small crumbles and cook fully until no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3 — Mix Everything Together
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded hashbrowns, cooked sausage, eggs, shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and holds together.
Step 4 — Fill the Muffin Pan
Scoop the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing lightly to compact. Filling them to just below the rim helps form a crisp golden top.
Step 5 — Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are crispy and the tops look golden. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Step 6 — Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm as-is or alongside fruit, yogurt, or scrambled eggs. These bites also make fantastic breakfast meal prep options.
Tips & Variations
- Make Them Pork-Free: Swap in turkey or chicken breakfast sausage for a delicious alternative.
- Add Veggies: Diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms add extra texture and vitamins.
- Adjust the Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a bit of diced jalapeño for heat.
- Try Different Cheeses: Pepper jack, gouda, or dairy-free cheese all work great.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Double the batch and freeze—these reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer.

Ingredients
1 lb frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
12 oz ground turkey or chicken breakfast sausage
3 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed shredded hashbrowns, cooked sausage, eggs, shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Stir the mixture until everything is evenly coated and the eggs are well distributed throughout.
5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one to the top and pressing down gently to compact the mixture.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the edges look crispy.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bites cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before loosening the edges and lifting them out.
8. Serve warm for breakfast or brunch, or cool completely for meal prep and store for later.
Notes
For a pork-free version, use turkey or chicken breakfast sausage instead of pork.
You can add finely diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the mixture for extra veggies and color.
If using frozen hashbrowns straight from the freezer, thaw and pat them dry with a towel to avoid excess moisture.
To freeze, let the bites cool completely, then place them on a baking sheet to freeze before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through and lightly crisp on the edges for best texture.
