Ingredients

Scale

1 lb hot sausage, uncooked
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
1¾ cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

You can make substitutions based on your preferences. If you prefer less heat, try using mild sausage or mild Rotel. You can also switch to a gluten-free baking mix if needed.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Combine the uncooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and drained Rotel in a large mixing bowl. Make sure the sausage is thoroughly mixed with the other ingredients.
Add the Bisquick baking mix and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet, making sure they’re evenly spaced.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Make sure to mix the ingredients well to avoid dry spots, and use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized balls for consistent cooking.

Notes

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.
