Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups hash browns (frozen, shredded)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and frozen shredded hash browns. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get about 18-20 balls.
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl. Roll each hash brown ball lightly in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess flour.
Arrange the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy ketchup.
