How to Make Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Bites
These are so easy to make! I can’t wait for you to try them!
Ingredients for Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls
- Sausage – You’ll be using uncooked sausage in this recipe.
- Cream cheese – This mixes together with all the ingredients much easier if the cream cheese is softened first.
- Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained – You can use the regular or mild depending on your taste.
- Bisquick –
- Mexican cheese blend, shredded – If you prefer another type of cheese, you could absolutely use a different kind. But, I think the Mexican style cheese pairs really well with the Rotel.
Instructions for Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Bites
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Next, place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Thoroughly combine with a hand mixer or large spoon. Mix until well combined.
Scoop sausage mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, or until golden brown
Note: Before baking, the sausage bites will indeed be sticky, so no need to add more Bisquick! It worked well for me to portion them out using a mini cookie scoop and then roll them into spheres after.
I can’t wait for you to try these and let us know what you think!!
