Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

Savory sausage balls with a Tex-Mex twist featuring Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles blended with cream cheese, sausage, Bisquick, and Mexican cheese blend, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb hot or mild breakfast sausage (uncooked)
  • 8 oz softened block of cream cheese
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, well drained
  • 1½ cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (such as Colby Jack or a Mexican blend)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine uncooked sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, Bisquick, and shredded cheese.
  3. Mix thoroughly by hand or with an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Scoop the mixture into 1-inch balls and place evenly spaced on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Sausage balls can be frozen uncooked; add a few minutes to baking time if baking directly from frozen. Adjust Bisquick amount if mixture feels too wet or sticky by adding 1 tablespoon at a time for easier rolling. Use pepper jack cheese for an extra spicy kick.
