Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls are a delicious, easy-to-make appetizer perfect for parties, game days, or any occasion! Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, drained
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups Bisquick or any baking mix
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, softened cream cheese, and drained Rotel.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and Bisquick. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Form Balls:
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or a spicy aioli.
Tips:
If the mixture feels too sticky to roll, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before forming the balls.
You can make these ahead of time and freeze them. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
Enjoy your delicious, crowd-pleasing sausage balls! 😊
