– 2 cups (around 200 grams) shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
1-First: preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the uncooked hot sausage, cooked chopped bacon, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeno peppers (undrained), garlic powder, biscuit mix, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Use a dough hook attachment on a mixer or mix by hand until everything is well blended for that perfect texture.
