# 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.

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.
