Creating Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls is a straightforward process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground sausage and softened cream cheese until smooth.
3. Add Rotel: Stir in the drained Rotel tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
4. Season: Add the Bisquick or gluten-free baking mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until combined.
5. Form Balls: Using your hands, form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake: Once you’ve formed all the sausage balls, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Cool: Remove from oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color.
