Perfect for game day, parties, or just as a delicious treat, this recipe combines the spiciness of hot sausage with the creaminess of cream cheese and the bold flavors of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Mixed with Bisquick and Mexican cheese blend, these sausage balls are guaranteed to disappear as soon as they hit the table.

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

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400ºF. This ensures that it’s ready to go as soon as your sausage balls are prepped.
2. Combine the Ingredients: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, place the uncooked hot sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, Bisquick, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. The dough hook attachment will help in thoroughly mixing the ingredients without overworking the mixture.
3. Form the Sausage Balls: Once the mixture is well combined, it’s time to shape them into balls. Scoop the sausage mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. This size is perfect for bite-sized snacks that are easy to eat.
4. Bake: Arrange the sausage balls on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This not only prevents sticking but also makes cleanup a breeze. Bake them in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until they are beautifully browned.
5. Enjoy: Let the sausage balls cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, when the cheese is still gooey and the flavors are at their peak.
