Get ready to wow your guests with these spicy, cheesy, and savory Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls! Loaded with zesty Rotel tomatoes, hot sausage, and creamy cheese, this crowd-pleasing appetizer is perfect for parties, potlucks, or tailgating!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
1 lb hot breakfast sausage, uncooked
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
1¾ cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions How to Make Cheesy Sausage Balls with Rotel:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Mix the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw hot sausage, softened cream cheese, and drained Rotel. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients:
Fold in the Bisquick baking mix and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the mixture is uniform and thick.
4. Form the Balls:
Shape into 1-inch balls using a small scoop or your hands. Place evenly on your baking sheet, leaving space between each.
5. Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through. They should be slightly crispy on the outside and gooey-cheesy inside!
6. Serve & Enjoy:
Let cool slightly and serve warm. These are fantastic on their own or with a dipping sauce like ranch or spicy mayo!
