Directions

Preheat the Oven

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat helps prevent sticking and ensures the sausage balls bake evenly without burning on the bottom.

Prepare the Sausage Mixture

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the raw ground sausage along with the softened cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so it blends smoothly into the mixture.
3. Add the well-drained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, the shredded cheddar cheese, and the Bisquick baking mix. Using a sturdy spoon or your hands, mix everything thoroughly until the texture is consistent and the baking mix has been fully absorbed into the sausage and cheese. This ensures the sausage balls hold their shape and bake evenly.
