Ah, Rotel Sausage Balls—a classic cheesy, savory appetizer or snack that’s quick to make and always a hit. Here’s a straightforward recipe:
Rotel Sausage Balls
Ingredients (makes ~24 balls):
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (raw, uncooked)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10 oz / 283 g) Ro*Tel diced tomatoes & green chilies, drained
- 1 1/2 cups Bisquick or self-rising baking mix
Instructions:
- Preheat oven:
- 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine sausage, cheddar cheese, drained Ro*Tel, and Bisquick.
- Use your hands or a spoon to mix until well combined.
- Form balls:
- Roll mixture into 1–1.5 inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake:
- 20–25 minutes until golden brown and sausage is fully cooked.
- Serve:
- Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or party food.
💡 Tips:
- For spicier sausage balls, use hot sausage or extra Ro*Tel.
- You can freeze unbaked balls for later; just bake a few extra minutes if frozen.
- Mini balls (bite-size) are perfect for parties and kids.
If you want, I can also give a 10-minute skillet or air fryer version that’s almost as quick as frozen appetizers—perfect for a last-minute snack.
