Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a big mixing bowl, combine ground sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, shredded cheddar, Bisquick, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Mix until well combined using your hands or a sturdy spoon; the mixture should be firm.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball; place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through; consider turning the pan halfway through for even cooking.
- Allow sausage balls to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter; serve warm with ranch dressing or hot sauce for dipping.

Notes
To ensure a tastier result, let cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing. Variations can include using ground turkey for a lighter option, swapping cheeses, or adding jalapeños for extra kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in an oven for best texture.
