Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ground sausage, and drained Rotel tomatoes and chilies until well mixed.
Add the Bisquick mix and shredded cheese, and continue mixing until fully combined into a thick dough-like texture.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Use hot sausage for an extra spicy kick.
Make ahead and freeze raw balls to bake later when needed.
Drain the Rotel well to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
Pair with ranch or spicy dipping sauce for added flavor.
