- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 block cream cheese softened
- 1 10- ounce can Rotel tomatoes drained
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose baking mix such as Bisquick
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage and softened cream cheese. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Add the drained Rotel and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the mixture is fully combined.
Mix in the baking mix until a soft, tacky dough forms. You may need to use your hands to ensure everything is well combined.
Scoop the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden and the sausage is cooked through.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
