Super Snack… Sausage Stars for your weekend gatherings…

  • 2c. cooked sausage (I like the plain kind, but you could do them spicy, if you’re kinda spicy like that)
  • 1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 c. monterey jack cheese
  • 1 c. prepared ranch dressing (i use a light version, and can’t taste any difference.  i don’t love the completely fat free in this recipe though)
  • sliced olives to taste (i just throw in a tiny can of the ones already cut into tiny pieces, drained)
  • 1/2 c. finely chopped red bell pepper
  • Stir all that goodness into a bowl

Pre-heat your oven to 350

Next you’ll need a package of Won Ton wrappers.  Easy to find.  Usually in the refrigerated section of the produce department.  They have to be refrigerated.

 

  • Take your Won Ton wrapper and press it down into a muffin tin.  As shown above.
  • The recipe says to spray the pan with a non-stick spray, but I’ve never had them stick
  • They won’t cover the whole thing, but make sure they have a definite “bottom”

cook the formed Won Ton wrappers for 5 minutes
then fill with a couple tablespoons of filling.  Enough.  But don’t over fill.
cook again for about another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is all melt-ee

Jami picked up a framed picture at the DI (thrift store) for a couple of dollars. She picked it based on the fact that the shape was good for spelling out a name. We pried the print out of the frame using butter knives and then flipped it over so that you couldn’t see the print through our white on white backing fabric. If your frame doesn’t have a print in it, you could cut some foam core or cardboard and accomplish the same thing. We applied the fabric to the print using spray adhesive.

We figured out what size we wanted our letters and cut a test run with the Silhouette on notebook paper. You could ABSOLUTELY do this project without a Silhouette, you’d just have to cut the letters by hand. And unless you named your kids something long (like Charlotte…thanks mom), it won’t take long.
