→ Main

01 - 1 lb mild or spicy breakfast sausage
02 - 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

04 - 1½ cups Bisquick baking mix
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the breakfast sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, drained Rotel tomatoes, Bisquick baking mix, and garlic powder.
03 - Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Bake the sausage balls for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
05 - Allow the sausage balls to cool slightly before serving warm with your preferred dipping sauce.
