Ingredients

1 pound ground sausage

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 can Rotel tomatoes, drained

2 cups bisquick baking mix

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded


Directions

1.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage and softened cream cheese using a spatula or your hands until well incorporated.

3.

Fold in the drained Rotel tomatoes, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the sausage mixture.

4.

Gradually add the Bisquick baking mix, combining it with the sausage blend until a cohesive dough forms.

5.

Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until all ingredients are well combined and the cheese is evenly dispersed.

6.

Scoop out small portions of the mixture using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, and shape them into one-inch balls.

7.

Place the sausage balls onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.

8.

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

9.

Remove from the oven and allow the sausage balls to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
