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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get about 18-20 balls.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Arrange the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy ketchup.
