Easy Sausage Cups (Like Sausage Stars)
"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."

I have made this several times and it's always a hit. double the recipe and cream cheese and use the hot sausage and try to get the jalapeno chips. Easy and lasts several days. Love to scoop it into the chips and microwave a few seconds for a quick snack! -
Made this as instructed only cutting the recipe in half. I did use a spicier sausage because we like a little kick. Definately something good to make for football, baseball (any sports) season or for a holiday. Thank you for another great recipe. -
Love this recipe.... made this several times and receive requests for it! -
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!

Took these to a party last night - they were gone in minutes!

I grew up on a farm in Southeast Iowa where I learned to garden, cook, and can with my mom. She always told me not to marry a farmer (kidding, of course), but I did in June 2007. Now I have a big garden on our farm and love to cook and can using fresh goodies from the garden. I work full-time, but enjoy helping out on the farm when I can and taking meals to the field to feed the guys during spring planting and fall harvest.
