These fancy-looking appetizers are ideal when entertaining large groups. The cute crunchy cups are stuffed with a cheesy pork sausage filling that kids of all ages enjoy. We keep a few in the freezer so we can easily reheat them for late-night snacking. -Mary Thomas North Lewisburg, Ohio

SAUSAGE-FILLED STARS

This is a fabulous appetizer; it does take a little time to prepare, but the taste is well worth it. If you want to freeze them for later use, they turn out just as good; just pop them in the freezer after filling the cups and then bake a bit longer then in the original recipe.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package square wonton wrappers
1 pound sage-flavored bulk sausage
2 cups shredded Colby cheese
1 bunch green onions, chopped fine
½ red bell pepper, chopped fine
½ green bell pepper, chopped fine
½ cup ranch salad dressing

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line each cup a mini-muffin pan with a wonton wrapper, carefully pressing each into the shape of a cup. Take care to not tear the wrapper as they will tear easily.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer 'cups' to a baking sheet; repeat until remaining wontons are all baked.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned completely, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Set sausage aside to cool.
Stir cooled sausage, Colby cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and ranch salad dressing together in a bowl; spoon into the wonton cups.
Bake in oven until cheese has melted and is beginning to bubble, 15 to 20 minutes.

Time 45m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages wonton wrappers
1 1/2 lbs bulk pork sausage
1 whole sweet onion, chopped finely
12 ounces shredded cheese (I use Colby jack or sharp)
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup salsa
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup jalapeno, to taste

Steps:

Use mini muffin pans to form the "won ton cups". Spray your mini muffin pan with non stick spray and place one won ton wrapper over each space and press into pan with fingers. (Pampered Chef makes a little wooden dowel with round ends on each just for this and works great!) Bake in 350 degree oven till lightly browned and then take out of oven and put on cookie sheet. Repeat until all your won ton wrappers are gone.
While your baking the shells brown the sausage and onion together till onion is almost caramelized. Drain grease. Let cool a little bit and add the cheese, dry ranch package, sour cream, chopped jalapeños and salsa. Stir together till all ingredients are well combined. Spoon mixture into shells and bake in 350 degree oven till bubbly. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve with salsa and sour cream on top!
