Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained well
- 2 cups Bisquick or similar baking mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the bulk pork sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, baking mix, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix all ingredients together thoroughly with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into small, one-inch balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about one inch between them.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the pan before serving warm.
Notes
- Drain the Rotel very well; excess liquid prevents the balls from holding their shape.
- For an extra crispy exterior, you can roll the balls in a small amount of extra Bisquick before baking.
- You can prepare the mixture ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Roll and bake when ready to serve.
