Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • wonton wrappers (square) 1 package (40 count)
  • bulk pork sausage 1 pound
  • shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • finely chopped yellow onion 1/4 cup
  • milk 2 tablespoons
  • garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • sour cream optional topping
  • chives optional topping
  • hot sauce optional topping, for drizzling

Equipment

  • Mini Muffin Tin
  • Large skillet
  • Spoon
  • Offset Spatula or Butter Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk pork sausage, breaking it up with a spoon until browned. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic powder into the skillet with the sausage and onion mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix until the cheese is mostly melted and the ingredients are well combined.

  4. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the cups of the prepared mini muffin tin, allowing the corners to stick up slightly, forming a cup.

  5. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheesy sausage mixture into each wonton cup, filling it almost to the top.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy, and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Let the wonton cups cool in the muffin tin for a couple of minutes before carefully removing them (you might need a small offset spatula or butter knife to help loosen them). Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
