Ingredients
- 1 lb hot sausage, uncooked
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10-oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
- 1½ cups Bisquick
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the sausage balls.
- Mix Ingredients: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the hot sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, Bisquick, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated into a homogeneous mixture.
- Form Balls: Using a scoop or your hands, shape the sausage mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking and allow even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through, indicating they are hot inside and ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix evenly and achieve a smooth texture.
- Drain the Rotel tomatoes well to prevent excess moisture that could affect the texture.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to avoid sticking and ease cleanup.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, salsa, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
- Ensure sausage is cooked properly by checking internal temperature reaches 160ºF for food safety.
