Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding shredded cheese or diced jalapeños to the sausage mixture. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked sausage or turkey sausage for a lighter option. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. Using a non-stick cooking spray on the cookie sheet can help prevent sticking.
