By AnneS

Ingredients

• 1 pound bulk sausage
• 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup ranch dressing
• 1 can (2.25 oz) sliced ripe black olives
• vegetable spray
• 1 pkg. wonton wrappers

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a heavy skillet, saute sausage, red pepper, onion and garlic, stirring often, until sausage is cooked through. Drain grease. While sausage mixture cools, spray Pam on mini-muffin pan. Place one wonton in each mini-muffin slot and bake 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove baked wontons to a foil-lined baking sheet.

Combine cooled sausage mixture, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, ranch dressing and olives; mix well. Fill each wonton cup with sausage mixture. Bake filled wontons an additional 5 minutes until melted and bubbly. Serve warm. Makes 4-5 dozen.
