Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (hot or mild) Choose according to preference.
- 8 ounces cream cheese Softened for easier mixing.
- 1 can Rotel (10 oz) Drained well to avoid a wet mixture.
- 2 cups baking mix Like Bisquick.
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar is recommended for the best flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Drain the Rotel thoroughly to ensure the mixture is not too wet.
- In a big bowl, combine the sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, baking mix, and cheddar. Mix until well combined, preferably using hands.
- Roll the mixture into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Place the balls on the baking sheet with space between them and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.
Notes
Make a test batch of 2-3 balls to adjust the consistency if needed. If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more baking mix; if too dry, add a bit more cream cheese.
