How to Make Hearty Sausage Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup crushed tortilla chips and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
- Add 1/4 cup melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 4.5-inch springform pan to create a crust.
- Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Spray the sides of the springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, mixing on medium speed until well incorporated.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
- In a skillet, sauté 1/2 cup cooked sausage (removed from casing), 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 clove minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper until sausage is cooked through.
- Stir the sausage mixture into the cream cheese batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the cake is set but still shakes very slightly in the center.
- Let cool completely for 30 minutes in the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Reheat slightly if desired.
