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