Cheesy Sausage Wonton Cups (Printer-Friendly)

Crispy wonton cups filled with sausage, cheese, and peppers for flavorful, easy appetizers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 1/2 pound country sausage, crumbled

→ Dairy

02 - 1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese

→ Produce

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

→ Condiments

05 - 2 tablespoons ranch dressing

→ Baking

06 - 12 wonton wrappers

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cook the crumbled sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into small pieces, until browned. Drain excess grease to avoid oily filling.
02 - Finely dice the red and green bell peppers to ensure even distribution and color in the filling.
03 - Press each wonton wrapper into the cups of a muffin pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 10 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
04 - In a mixing bowl, combine the browned sausage, shredded cheese, chopped bell peppers, and ranch dressing. Stir thoroughly to coat evenly.
05 - Spoon the filling generously into each prebaked wonton cup. Return to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are golden brown.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Prebaking wonton wrappers prevents sogginess and ensures crisp edges.
02 - Allow baked cups to cool briefly before removal to maintain their shape.
03 - Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melting and flavor.
