Combining savory sausage, spicy Rotel tomatoes, creamy cheese, and baking mix, they come out golden on the outside and irresistibly gooey inside.

🧂 Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (drained very well)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix

🍴 Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

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

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s fully browned. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3: Mix in the Cream Cheese

Add the softened cream cheese to the hot sausage and stir until well combined and creamy. Let this mixture cool slightly.

Step 4: Add Rotel and Cheese

Stir in the drained Rotel tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5: Add the Bisquick

Gradually add the Bisquick baking mix and stir until a soft dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate all the ingredients.

Step 6: Roll Into Balls

Form the mixture into 1 to 1½ inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

Step 7: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Let them cool slightly before serving. These are delicious warm, straight from the oven, but also reheat well if you’re prepping ahead!

🔁 Storage Tips:

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: You can freeze the unbaked balls for up to 3 months and bake them from frozen—just add 5 extra minutes to the baking time.

🌶️ Customize It!

  • Spice it up: Use hot sausage or pepper jack cheese.
  • Add herbs: Try a sprinkle of garlic powder or chopped green onions for extra flavor.

Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re hosting a party or just treating yourself, this easy recipe delivers bold, cheesy, and spicy flavor in every bite.
