SAUSAGE-FILLED STARS



Sausage-Filled Stars image

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)



Easy Sausage Cups (Like Sausage Stars) image

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.

SAUSAGE STARS



SAUSAGE STARS image

Categories     Pork     Appetizer     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 to 5 Dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 LB. sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 Cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 1/2 Cup monterey jack cheese, grated
1 Cup prepared Ranch salad dressing mix
1 2.25 oz. ripe olives
1/2 Cup red pepper, chopped
1 package wonton wrappers
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blot sausage dry with paper towels and combine cheeses, salad dressing, olives and red pepper. Lightly grease a muffin tin and press 1 wrapper in each cup.

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.
