Ingredients

1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the Rotel tomatoes thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
Mix the sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, shredded cheddar cheese, Bisquick, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Combine until just mixed.
Form the mixture into 1½-inch balls using a medium cookie scoop or hands.
Place the balls about an inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauces or side dishes!
