Guidelines

  • Set the Oven’s Temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  • Mixing the Ingredients: Put the cream cheese, drained Rotel, and ground sausage into a big mixing bowl. Blend until thoroughly blended.
  • Add the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a separate bowl. Stirring constantly, gradually add the dry mixture to the sausage mixture until well combined. After that, mix in the cheddar cheese shreds.
  • Shape the Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into tiny, one-inch-diameter balls. Put them on a baking sheet that has been lined or oiled.
  • Bake: Bake the sausage balls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked and golden brown, in a preheated oven. For the final five minutes of baking, scatter the extra shredded cheese on top, if using.
  • To serve, allow them to come down a little bit. Warm up and enjoy!
