Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage meat
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup black olives, drained and chopped
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing
- Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage meat (drained), shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chopped black olives, and Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing. Stir until well combined. |
| 3 | Lightly oil mini muffin tins to prevent sticking. Press a wonton wrap into each muffin tin, ensuring that there are four “wings” sticking out. This creates a star-like shape. |
| 4 | Brush the wonton wraps with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Once done, remove the wraps from the muffin tin and place them on a baking sheet. |
| 5 | Fill each baked wonton wrap with the sausage and cheese mixture prepared earlier. |
| 6 | Return the filled wraps to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. |
| 7 | Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious Hidden Valley Ranch Sausage Stars as a delightful appetizer or party snack! |
