Cheesy Sausage Stars Recipe

By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, About.com

Crispy baked wonton cups are filled with a cheesy sausage, onion, and garlic mixture. Great finger food appetizer for Superbowl parties or any other special occasion.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bulk sausage
  • 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 can (2.25 ounces) sliced ripe olives
  • Vegetable oil spray
  • 1 package wonton wrappers

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a heavy skillet, saute sausage, red pepper, onion, and garlic, stirring often, until sausage is cooked through. Drain grease and let cool to room temperature.

While sausage mixture cools, spray non-stick mini-muffin pans with vegetable oil. Place one wonton in each mini-muffin slot and spray with vegetable oil. Bake 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove baked wontons to a foil-lined baking sheet.

Combine cooled sausage mixture, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, ranch dressing, and olives. Mix well.

Fill each wonton cup with sausage mixture. Bake filled wontons an additional 5 minutes until melted and bubbly. Serve warm.

Yield: 4 to 5 dozen
