- Drain the Rotel thoroughly: Excess liquid from the tomatoes can make the mixture too wet and difficult to shape.
- Soften the cream cheese before mixing to ensure it combines smoothly with the other ingredients.
- If you find the mixture sticky, chill it for 10-15 minutes in the fridge before shaping the sausage balls.
