Sausage-Filled Stars

(13)

These little sausage-filled stars are a fabulous appetizer; they do 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 than in the original recipe.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Line each cup in a mini-muffin pan with a wonton wrapper, carefully pressing each into a star-shaped cup. Take care to not tear the wrapper as they will tear easily.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat until remaining wonton wrappers are all baked.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and is beginning to bubble, 15 to 20 minutes.
