Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 36 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 can cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray.
Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, ensuring it forms a star-like shape with edges extending above the cup. Spray the wonton wrappers lightly with cooking spray.
Bake the wonton wrappers for 5-6 minutes, or until they are slightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and green onions. Mix until well blended.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture into each prebaked wonton shell.
Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and slightly bubbly.
Allow the Sausage Stars to cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove them from the muffin tin and serve warm or at room temperature.
