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.

EASY SAUSAGE CUPS (LIKE SAUSAGE STARS)
This is a variation of Sausage Stars/Sausage Cup recipes that use wanton wrappers and ranch dressing. My version uses Tostitos Scoops (bowl shaped corn chips) and cream cheese for some of the ranch dressing. I made these for Christmas Eve and Super Bowl Sunday, and they were a huge hit on both occasions! You can make the filling in advance and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble and bake. If I am taking these to a party, I fill the shells before I leave home and bake when I arrive at the party. They are also great with regular ranch dressing, but we prefer parmesan peppercorn flavor.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Sausage: Opt for high-quality breakfast sausage with a good balance of spices and seasonings.
- Preparing the Sausage: Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into small pieces before cooking. This ensures even browning and helps prevent the sausage from clumping together.
- Cooking the Sausage: Cook the sausage over medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Use a spatula to break up the sausage into smaller pieces as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Draining the Fat: Once the sausage is cooked, drain off any excess grease from the skillet. This will help keep the stars crispy and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use a Pastry Cutter or Pizza Cutter: To achieve the star shape, use a pastry cutter or pizza cutter to slice the dough into strips. This ensures uniform and consistent star shapes.
- Baking the Stars: Bake the sausage stars at a high temperature, around 400°F, for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
- Serving and Enjoying: Serve the sausage stars warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing. They can also be enjoyed as a snack or appetizer.
