Description

Savory, tender sausage balls made with cream cheese, Rotel tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and biscuit mix for an easy, flavorful appetizer or snack.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or hot)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, well drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups Bisquick or other baking mix


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, cheddar cheese, and Bisquick.
  3. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a stand mixer until fully incorporated.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the Rotel is fully drained to avoid a wet mixture.
  • You can freeze unbaked sausage balls and bake them later—add 5 extra minutes to the bake time.
  • Try using spicy sausage for an extra kick.
