Base Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Sausage
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese
- Crackers (as needed)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Start by browning the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage with cream cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until everything is well blended and creamy.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese, mixing until it is evenly distributed throughout the sausage mixture.
- Prepare Crackers: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the crackers in a single layer.
- Assemble and Bake: Spoon a generous amount of the sausage mixture onto each cracker. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Use Quality Sausage: Choose a flavorful sausage to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let the cream cheese sit out for a bit; it will mix more easily with the other ingredients.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the crackers to prevent them from getting too crunchy.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the sausage mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
- Experiment with Toppings: Consider adding sliced olives or chopped green onions on top before serving for added flavor and presentation.
