Ingredients:
1 pound uncooked sausage (opt for spicy for an extra kick!)
1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, thoroughly drained
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened to ease mixing
1.5 cups Bisquick
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions:
Preheat and Prep:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (approximately 200°C) and greasing a baking sheet to ensure easy removal of the balls post-baking.
Combine Ingredients:
In a generously-sized mixing bowl, introduce the uncooked sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, Bisquick, and shredded Mexican cheese blend. Ensure all components are mixed uniformly.
Shape and Place:
Create bite-sized balls from the mixture, aiming for a diameter between 1 to 1.5 inches, and gently place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake to Perfection:
Immerse the balls into the preheated oven, allowing them to bake for roughly 20 minutes. The goal is to achieve a beautiful golden brown hue and ensure they are thoroughly cooked through.
Cool and Serve:
Once removed from the oven, permit them to cool slightly before serving to avoid any overzealous tasters burning their tongues!
