History of Sausage Balls

Sausage balls have been a Southern classic for decades, traditionally made with just sausage, cheese, and biscuit mix. Over time, cooks have added their own spins to the recipe, incorporating ingredients like cream cheese for added richness and Rotel to introduce a spicy, tangy twist. The addition of Rotel, with its mix of tomatoes and green chilies, transforms the classic sausage ball into something even more flavorful and irresistible.
