Description

Quick and easy Rotel cream cheese sausage balls recipe that tastes like it’s from a bakery. Perfect for parties, game days, or a tasty appetizer. This cream cheese sausage recipe combines savory sausage, creamy cream cheese, and zesty Rotel tomatoes for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (regular or hot, your preference)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups Bisquick baking mix

Instructions

  1. Combine Sausage, Cream Cheese, and Rotel: In a large bowl, combine the sausage, softened cream cheese, and undrained Rotel tomatoes. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  2. Add Cheddar Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture. Incorporate the cheese evenly throughout the sausage mixture.
  3. Incorporate Bisquick: Gradually add the Bisquick baking mix to the sausage mixture. Gently fold the Bisquick into the other ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Form and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the sausage mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the Rotel cream cheese sausage balls cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Soften the cream cheese for easier mixing.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough sausage balls.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Aim for uniform-sized balls for even baking.
  • Use hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or Colby jack for unique flavor profiles.
