Cheesy Sausage Wonton Cups (Printer-Friendly)

Crispy wonton cups stuffed with savory sausage, melty cheese, and colorful bell peppers for easy entertaining.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 1/2 pound country sausage, casing removed

→ Dairy

02 - 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

→ Vegetables

03 - 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
04 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

→ Condiments

05 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing, well chilled

→ Baking

06 - 12 wonton wrappers

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.
02 - Finely chop red and green bell peppers until uniform in size to ensure even distribution in the filling.
03 - Gently press wonton wrappers into the cups of a standard 12-count muffin pan. Bake at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes until they turn lightly golden but are not overly crisp.
04 - In a mixing bowl, stir together the browned sausage, shredded cheese, chopped bell peppers, and ranch dressing until thoroughly incorporated.
05 - Spoon the filling evenly into each prebaked wonton cup. Return to the oven and bake at 350°F for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are golden and crispy.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Prebaking wonton wrappers prevents soggy bottoms and maintains crispness.
02 - Allow baked cups to cool briefly before removal to preserve shape.
03 - Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melt and flavor.
