Ingredients
1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or hot, uncooked)
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, very well drained
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1½ cups Bisquick or baking mix
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Drain the Rotel thoroughly using a strainer and paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine sausage, cream cheese, Rotel, cheddar cheese, Bisquick, and seasonings.
Mix until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. You can use clean hands or a stand mixer.
Scoop about 1–1½ tablespoons and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
