Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls is a straightforward process that I truly enjoy! To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage and softened cream cheese, using a spatula or spoon to mix until smooth. I always find that letting the cream cheese sit at room temperature for a bit makes it easier to blend in. Once that’s done, add the can of Rotel, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and biscuit mix, folding everything together until well combined. The fragrance of the spices and sausage is simply mouthwatering! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
