Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

 

Ingredients

1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey, mild or spicy)

1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

1 (10 oz) can Rotel (drained well)

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 ½ cups Bisquick (or almond flour for a low-carb version)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine sausage, cream cheese, drained Rotel, shredded cheddar, and Bisquick. Mix well until fully combined (it’s easiest to use your hands).

3. Form balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake: Cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve warm: Enjoy as-is or with a dipping sauce like ranch, spicy mayo, or honey mustard.

Tips & Variations

Spicier? Use hot sausage or add cayenne pepper.

Crispier? Bake on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet.
