Hey friends. I have one question. Are you ready to wipe the slate clean and start a new year? It’s hard to believe that we will soon be ringing in yet another year on the calendar. Whether we are ready or not, here it comes.

Food is a perfect way to celebrate any special occasion. These Sausage Stars Appetizers are a tasty and delicious way to celebrate.

I first had these Sausage Stars at a friends house several years ago. Let me tell you, it was love at first bite. Sausage Stars Appetizers are perfect for any gathering.

If you remember a while back, I talked my love of wonton wrappers when I shared my Ham & Cheese Quiche Bites recipe. Wonton wrappers get a high five from me because they are so versatile. Fill them with sweet or savory ingredients.

Ingredients Needed To Make Sausage Stars

Package of wonton wrappers

Ground Italian sausage

Red or Green pepper finely diced

Red pepper flakes

Salt (to taste)

Shredded cheddar cheese

How to Make Wonton Sausage Stars

Italian sausage is the star of this appetizer. I fried some along with bell peppers and a pinch of red pepper flakes for just a bit of zing.

Spray a miniature muffin pan with PAM non-stick cooking spray. Gently press the wonton into each cup. Fill with a heaping tablespoon of the sausage filling and top with a nice amount of shredded cheddar cheese….because cheese makes the world go around in my book!

When you bake these sausage stars, the wonton gets nice a crispy on the outside. I love the crunchy texture. The sausage and cheese meld together to create serious deliciousness. These bad boys can be prepped ahead of time too. You can even bake them in advance and heat them just before your guests arrive.
