Last week I interviewed fantasy writer Erin Howard for my Thursday blog. Today she shares a favorite recipe that she thought readers might like to have. With the holiday season in full swing, it’s perfect timing for this dish. Here in the South, sausage is almost a staple. If you missed my blog, be sure to check it out to learn more about her published and upcoming books. Thanks, Erin, for the recipe!
This is one of my favorite recipes that my mom has taught me to make and one that we always have at family dinners, especially at Christmas. Sausage Stars are super easy to make and very yummy. I never bring home any leftovers when I make them for parties.
Sausage Stars
1 pound sausage
1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or to taste)
1 cup ranch dressing (or to taste)
1 small jar green olives, sliced
Diced red pepper (optional)
1 package wonton wrappers
Preheat oven to 350°. Cook sausage and drain thoroughly. Combine sausage with cheese, ranch, olives, and red pepper (optional). Lightly grease muffin/cupcake pans. Press wontons into each cup with four wings sticking out. Lightly brush inside of wontons with olive oil. Bake 5 minutes or lightly golden brown. Fill each wonton with sausage mixture. Bake an additional 5-8 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
