I Made These Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls Once — Now They Vanish Before They Even Hit the Table
Some recipes are so simple, yet so unbelievably good, they turn into instant family legends. That’s exactly what happened when I threw together these Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls. I wasn’t expecting much — just an easy appetizer for a weekend get-together — but one bite in, everyone was hooked.
These sausage balls are soft, cheesy, and just a little spicy from the Rotel. Perfect for breakfast, parties, or any time you want something warm, savory, and addictive.
Here’s how to make them step by step.
Ingredients
-
1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
-
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
-
1 can Rotel (drained well — you can use mild or original)
-
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 cups Bisquick or any baking mix
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the raw sausage and softened cream cheese. Mix well using your hands or a sturdy spoon until the two are fully blended. It’ll be a bit messy — but that’s part of the fun.
