Easy Sausage Cups (Like Sausage Stars)

Recipe #353921 | 40 min | 15 min prep | add private note

This is a variation of Sausage Stars/Sausage Cup recipes that use wanton wrappers and ranch dressing. My version uses Tostitos Scoops (bowl shaped corn chips) and cream cheese for some of the ranch dressing. I made these for Christmas Eve and Super Bowl Sunday, and they were a huge hit on both occasions! You can make the filling in advance and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble and bake. If I am taking these to a party, I fill the shells before I leave home and bake when I arrive at the party. They are also great with regular ranch dressing, but we prefer parmesan peppercorn flavor.

24 -36 Sausage Cups (change servings and units)

These were fantastic! We doubled the recipe and it was a good thing we did, they went super fast! Next time we're going to see how far tripling the recipe gets us!
