Beef Shots (Oven Baked)
These savory, bite-sized Beef shots are a perfect blend of crispy beef, flavorful sausage, and creamy cheese. They're easy to make and perfect for parties, tailgates, or game day.
Ingredients
- 12 slices beef cut in half
- 1 lb breakfast sausage mild or spicy
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika optional for color
- to taste fresh jalapeño slices optional for heat
- 12 toothpicks for securing beef
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until fully combined.
- Take each half slice of beef and wrap it around the edges of a muffin tin, securing the ends with a toothpick to form a 'cup.'
- Fill each beef cup generously with the sausage mixture, but do not overfill as the sausage will expand while baking.
- Place a jalapeño slice on top of each filled Beef shot, if desired, for a spicy kick.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the beef is crispy and the sausage is fully cooked.
- For extra crispy beef, broil the Beef shots for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
