Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked sausage
- 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 10-ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, thoroughly drained
- 1.5 cups Bisquick mix
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheating the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the sausage balls.
- Combining Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the uncooked sausage, softened cream cheese, thoroughly drained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, Bisquick mix, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Mix well using a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a uniform mixture.
- Forming the Sausage Balls: Carefully scoop the mixture and shape it into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. This size ensures even cooking and easy handling.
- Baking: Place the sausage balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until the sausage balls are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Drain the Rotel tomatoes well to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Check for doneness by ensuring the sausage is fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
