Ingredients

1 pound hot pork sausage uncooked
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 can Original Ro-Tel 10 ounces, drained very well
2 cups Bisquick
2 cups Mexican blend cheese shredded

Instructions

Heat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, combine the sausage, cream cheese, drained Ro-Tel, Bisquick, and shredded cheese until the mixture is evenly blended. A stand mixer with a dough hook works well for this, but you can do it by hand if that's not possible.
Scoop the mixture into 1 inch portions. I roll them into balls for presentation, but you can also just put the scoops down on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Ground pork should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you want a festive holiday touch.

Notes

Make sure the Ro-Tel is drained thoroughly. I after draining the can, I use paper towels to press out excess water.
