- You can adjust the spiciness by using regular Rotel if you prefer a milder version or hot sausage if you like it spicier.
- For a slightly crispier texture, you can broil the sausage balls for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.
- These sausage balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
