These Rotel Sausage Balls are a savory and cheesy appetizer featuring breakfast sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and spicy diced tomatoes with green chilies. Quick to prepare and perfect for parties or snacks, they bake to golden perfection with a tender inside and slightly crispy outside.

Ingredients

Scale

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 and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the breakfast sausage, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, the well-drained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, Bisquick baking mix, and garlic powder if using.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Using your hands, mix all the ingredients well until they are fully combined and form a consistent mixture.
  4. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the sausage balls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly before serving warm. They pair wonderfully with your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the Rotel tomatoes thoroughly to prevent the mixture from being too wet.
  • You can substitute Bisquick with any baking mix or make your own at home if preferred.
  • These sausage balls can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
  • Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy breakfast sausage, and by using more or less spicy Rotel tomatoes.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix.
