Ingredients

Scale

Rotel Sausage Balls Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, well drained
  • 1½ cups Bisquick baking mix
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, well-drained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, Bisquick baking mix, and optional garlic powder.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands, mix all ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and form a uniform mixture.
  4. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch sized balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven, let the sausage balls cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure to well drain the Rotel tomatoes to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.
  • You can use either mild or spicy breakfast sausage depending on your spice preference.
  • Bisquick baking mix acts as the binder, but you can substitute with self-rising flour or a gluten-free baking mix if needed.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture; they can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Garlic powder is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor to the sausage balls.
