Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain the excess fat and allow it to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, baking mix, well-drained Rotel tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Let the bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them hot with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Use a spicy sausage or add extra chili flakes for a kick of heat.

Incorporate chopped bell peppers or green onions for added flavor.

Try different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for a unique twist.

For mini versions, reduce cooking time slightly.
