Cheesy Sausage Wonton Cups – Baked crispy wonton cups filled with a cheesy sausage mixture and baked until bubbly and hot. Great for any party, get together, or just because!
Appetizers just might be my favorite food group. Well I guess it would be behind chocolate. But there is just something about appetizers that I love. It often times involves chips, melty cheese, and all kinds of other deliciousness. Green Chili Enchilada Dip is a must make for parties around here.
Sometimes you want something a little more filling for an appetizer, like these Chicken Bites. And that is where these wonton cups come in. These are cheesy, gooey, spicy, and great for a quick bite. If you are throwing a game day party these would be a huge hit.
These sausage wonton cups are filled with ranch dressing, 2 kinds of cheese, black olives, jalapenos and sausage! Talk about all kinds of goodness in one bite! They are super easy to make, and you can make most of it ahead of time and then just bake when it is time to eat.
I love something you can make ahead, like Corn Dip. You just have everything in the fridge waiting for you, and when it is time you heat it up. Perfect for when you want to do most of the work the day before, so you aren’t exhausted and your kitchen isn’t a mess when friends show up.
Tips for Making Wonton Cups
- A mini muffin tin works great, they are the right size to press in and get a cup for filling
- Be very gentle when pressing them in, they tear very easily.
- Try to get the wonton wrappers to have a flat bottom when you press them in. This can be hard to do, but your little cups will stand up afterwards, so it is worth the effort to try to make it happen.
- Bake them until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, because they can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly.
- You can make these the day ahead of time and just store in an air tight container until they are ready to fill.
So if you are looking for a fun new appetizer, these wonton cups are a great choice. They always disappear and you can even mix up the filling a little bit for those picky eaters. My husband hates black olives, so I usually leave about 1/2 of them without when I am making them. That way everyone can enjoy!
And if you want a dip for your next party, this Bacon Cheeseburger Dip is a huge hit. It is one of the more popular recipes on this site, and it goes crazy on Pinterest when I share it there. Be the hero at your next party!

April 22, 2016 at 8:21 amThese are such a great appetizer idea! Easy to hold and easy to cram in my mouth! All that sausage and cheesy goodness is making me hungry for them already 🙂
We have cleared the calendar for the weekend but I don’t expect much relaxation either. We’re potty training my little boy – eek! I think I’ll not wait until we have a party and just make these for an easy dinner this weekend when I’m worn out and just want to plop down with a drink and some comforting food!

January 26, 2019 at 9:27 amMy family has been making these for years. They are so delicious. I never spray the wrappers with cooking spray and they turn out great. Every time I make them and new people are going to try them, I have extra recipes printed as everyone always wants the recipe. It really is a great appetizer. Also, at Christmas I use a combination of red and green pepper and omit the black olives.
