  • 1 pound ground pork sausage

  • 1 10-ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage and cream cheese until well blended.
  3. Stir in the drained Rotel tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese until mixed.
  4. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
  5. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking

Notes

Serve warm, best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. These sausage balls can be paired with ranch, sour cream, or spicy salsa for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheat as needed.
