The BEST Sausage Balls

How to Make Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

These sausage balls are super easy to make with only 5 simple ingredients. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine sausage, Bisquick, shredded cheese, and a can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles. Use a cookie scoop, scoop the sausage mixture into balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
