Q1: Can I make cheesy sausage wonton cups ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Bake the wonton cups just before serving for the best texture.

Q2: Can I freeze cheesy sausage wonton cups?

Yes, they freeze well. After baking, let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F until crispy.

Q3: What’s a good substitute for wonton wrappers?

If you can’t find wonton wrappers, try using mini phyllo shells or scooped tortilla chips. These alternatives offer a similar crisp texture.

Q4: How do I keep the wonton cups from getting soggy?

Pre-bake the wrappers before adding the filling, and don’t overload them with wet ingredients. Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispiness.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
While the sausage is cooking, finely chop red and green bell peppers until you have about 3/4 cup total.
Spray or lightly grease a muffin tin and press one wonton wrap into each cup. Bake for 5–10 minutes until lightly browned.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, chopped peppers, and ranch dressing. Stir until well mixed.
Spoon the filling evenly into the pre-baked wonton cups. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the wonton edges are golden and crisp.
Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm.

Notes

Substitute cheddar or Colby Jack cheese if preferred.
Use jalapeños instead of bell peppers for a spicy version.
Pre-baking the wontons ensures a crispier base.
Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer to retain crunch.
