Servings: 30
Equipment
- 1 mixer
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 ½ cups Bisquick
- 1 10 ounce can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, drained
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, shredded cheese, and Bisquick in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer to combine.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese. Set the cream cheese out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before preparing. This will help it blend into the sausage ball mixture easier and not clump.
- Cooking raw sausage. Make sure that the internal temperature of the sausage balls reaches 160 degrees F.
- Don't over mix. Mix until the mixture is just combined. You don't want to over mix so that the sausage balls don't become tough.
- Shredded cheese. I recommend shredding your own cheese if possible for the best taste.
- Drain the Rotel tomatoes with green chilies. Make sure to drain the Rotel well.
