SPICY SAUSAGE WON TON CUPS

Ingredients

1 Lb. Hot Ground Pork Sausage
1-1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1-1/2 Cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
½ Cup Ranch Style Dressing
1/3 Cup Chopped Pimiento – Stuffed Olives
1/3 Cup Finely Chopped Red Bell Pepper
1 Jalapeno Pepper, Seeded and Minced
1-16 oz. Pkg. Won Ton Wrappers 3-1/2” Squares

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Brown ground sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain on paper towels. 
  3. Combine sausage, Cheddar Cheese, Monterey Jack Cheese, Ranch style dressing, pimento, red bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. 
  4. Coat 4 miniature muffin pans with cooking spray.  Place won ton wrappers in pans, using fingers to create fluted shape.  Lightly spray wrappers with cooking spray.  Bake for approximately 2 minutes until lightly crisp.
  5. Remove pan from oven and fill with mixture.  Return pan to oven and bake for 8 minutes or until browned and thoroughly heated.

Serve warm.  Yield:  3-1/2 dozen.

NOTE:  I have also used Monterey Jack Cheese with jalapenos, omitting the additional jalapeno pepper called for in the recipe.
