Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small casserole dish.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles until completely browned. Drain the excess grease.
  3. Stir the softened cream cheese into the warm sausage until melted and creamy.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Spread the sausage mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped onions or bell peppers when cooking the sausage. For a bit of spice, use spicy sausage or add red pepper flakes to the mixture. Serve with salsa or hot sauce for extra kick. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
