Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage meat
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

- 1 cup black olives, drained and chopped
- 1 package wonton wrappers

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). |
| 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 โwingsโ sticking out. This creates a star-like shape. |

| 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. |
