This was a yummy appetizer and so easily adaptable as many reviewers have noted! I made half the recipe using 1/2 pound turkey sausage (daughter doesn’t eat pork) seasoned with 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning. I precooked the sausage. I added 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend, 1/4 each finely diced red bell pepper (1 mini pepper does the trick) and onion. I pre-baked shells 5 minutes, filled them, and popped them in the oven once I arrived at the party. Thank you- so easy!
I used to make these when I worked in an office and they were so loved, that when we had a potluck, my contribution was filled in by others as Deb’s Amazing Wontons. I read some of the older comments and can’t believe that some called these “gross”. I also saw some variations that I will try, such as pepperjack cheese and a lower-fat meat. I will use mushrooms to make a vegetarian wonton.
I have made this recipe with hot pork sausage, and pepper jack cheese, I also have made it in regular muffin cups, froze them after cooking, reheated them and added scrambled eggs for a delicious handheld breakfast treat.
These little dudes always hit when I make them. They are good reheated or cold. Ppl love them and always ask me if I’m making them. I add a little vegetable oil to my wraps before cooking them the first time it helps! YES, cook the sausage before adding it to all the other ingredients. make sure it is thoroughly cooked! It is meat y’all come on now. I also add a little extra cheese on top before they go back into the oven after being assembled. You can’t go wrong with this little bites of yummy!! Cook them with love and I promise they will taste even better. good luck!
This the BEST appetizer ever! The best way is to bake your wrappers and they can be stored in a ziplock baggie for whenever you want to use them. Then just fry the sausage, add the cheese and ranch and fill the wonton wrappers and bake in oven (or microwave) for a very short time until cheese is melted. Whenever I make these they disappear instantly.
Make this for Church coffee hour every so often. Have never brought any home. Wish I had the hint on the shot glass sooner. Million dollar suggestion. Makes the process so much faster & easier. Thank you & God Bless
This is my go to when needing an appetizer (I’m actually making them right now). My friends and family request this recipe anytime we have a get together. Over the years I have tried different ways of making it. I’ve used Italian sausage and different types of breakfast sausage. This morning I am using maple sausage and wondered how scrambled eggs might be in it. I’ve never had a mini baking cup pan so I make them the regular cupcake size using 1 wonton wrapper. Recently I decided to use the mixture and make egg rolls. Of course it was fantastic! There are so many tweaks you can do to this recipe to make it your own or just try new variations. I’m not an olive fan so that is something you will never find in mine. Love this recipe.
Mixed cheddar and mozzarella together as well as the Monterey Jack.
These are super easy to make and to re-heat. I used a little egg wash to hold them together, since I didn’t have a mini muffin pan.
They were delicious as is but I experimented several times. Eventually I settled on Italian-style-spiced ground turkey instead of pork for the fat content. I cooked the ground turkey to gray in a couple tablespoons of olive oil (ground turkey is pretty lean), I replaced the Ranch dressing with Blue Cheese dressing as I find Ranch too sweet. I’ve had several requests for them and people didn’t seem to notice my changes. (If you’d really rather have pork though, a butcher shop will be able to give you lean ground pork)
I added red and yellow peppers. My 11 year old loves it!
I used philo shells instead to make it easier and I pre cooked sausage with red bell pepper and onion chopped finely instead of olives. This is always requested tat get togethers!!!
Was great. Used egg roll wrappers and cut into 4. Added cooked and crumbled Spicy Italian sausage, red pepper pieces, grated cheese, (extra sharp), black olives, ranch dressing. Cleaned up by guests very quickly!
Easy to make and was a big hit and our Christmas party!
They were a huge hit at a xmas party!
Made as indicated. Easy quick good appetizer.
I have made this a couple times, every one loves it!! The only changes I make is that I take cooked steak (usually cooked on the grill the night before) run it through the food processor and mix with the sausage. I cooked the sausage prior to putting in the wontons and it turns out great!! Also, cut down on the ranch, use just enough to moisten. Thanks for this great recipe!!!
Worked out well, tried several different version, with different meats and cheese, even seafood. Great way to do appetizers.
These were easy crunchy and delicious.
I followed the suggestions of Chris Miller Catley. I cooked the wontons 6 minutes until they were browning at the edges. I then cooked the sausage, added some diced red pepper and onion, left out the ranch dressing and olives. Then filling the cups could refrigerate until guests arrived. Popped them in the microwave and the guest raved over the appetizer. It was a hit for the evening. Thank you Chris Miller Cately for your review!!!!
Made this for a few parties and for Christmas – instead of a full heavy lasagna. Much more enjoyable. Big hit.
