  • 8 oz breakfast sausage raw or cooked, crumbled
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage:

  • If using raw sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and let cool slightly.

Bake:

  • Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
