Serving Suggestions
These Rotel Cream Cheese Sausage Balls are perfect on their own or served with dipping sauces. Try pairing them with ranch dressing, spicy mustard, or a tangy barbecue sauce for extra flavor. They also make an excellent appetizer for parties or family gatherings, and can be enjoyed alongside your favorite drinks, such as iced tea, lemonade, or even a cold beer.
Tips
- If you prefer a spicier kick, opt for hot breakfast sausage instead of mild sausage, or add extra diced green chilies to the mixture for additional heat.
- If Rotel isn’t available, you can substitute with a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies or use fresh diced tomatoes and a small amount of jalapeños for a similar flavor.
- For a lighter option, try using reduced-fat cream cheese. However, be aware that the texture may change slightly, becoming a bit less creamy.
- Store any leftover sausage balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes to maintain their crisp texture, or microwave them for a quick snack.
