Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls




1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and flour.
  2. Mix everything together with your hands or a spoon until well combined. The mixture will be sticky but manageable.

3. Shape the Balls

  1. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands.
  2. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

4. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  2. Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra browning (watch closely to avoid burning).

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the sausage balls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy every bite of these spicy, cheesy, and savory treats!
  3. Perfect as a standalone appetizer or paired with ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa for dipping.

Tips for Success

  • Drain the Rotel Well: Excess liquid from the Rotel can make the mixture too wet, so be sure to drain it thoroughly.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute ground sausage with ground beef, turkey, or plant-based alternatives for variety.
  • Add Heat: Include diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
