Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing. Thoroughly drain Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies to prevent excess moisture.

In a large mixing bowl, add ground pork sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and Bisquick or baking mix. Use hands to gently mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and mixture is uniform.

If mixture appears too wet, add additional Bisquick by the tablespoon. If too dry, incorporate a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream until desired texture is achieved.
