Cheesy Rotel Sausage Balls Recipe
Cheesy Rotel Sausage Balls Recipe is warm, cheesy and full of bold flavor. This snack is perfect for parties and family nights. I love how easy it is to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baking mix
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes drained well
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Heat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and burning.
Drain the Rotel
- Drain Rotel tomatoes very well. Extra liquid can make the mixture too wet.
Mix the Ingredients
- Add sausage, cheese, baking mix, Rotel, and spices into a bowl. Mix until everything looks even.
Shape the Balls
- Roll mixture into small balls. Each ball should be about one inch wide.
Arrange on Baking Sheet
- Place balls on the prepared sheet. Leave space between each ball for even cooking.
Bake Until Golden
- Bake for twenty five minutes. The tops should look golden and cooked through.
Cool Slightly Before Serving
- Remove from oven. Let them cool five minutes. This helps them hold shape while serving.
Notes
- Drain Rotel very well before mixing
- Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt
- Do not overmix the sausage mixture
- Make balls same size for even baking
- Serve warm for best taste
