¼ cup finely chopped green onion
2 (8 ounce) packages crescent roll sheets

SAUSAGE-FILLED STARS



Sausage-Filled Stars image

This is a fabulous appetizer; it does take a little time to prepare, but the taste is well worth it. If you want to freeze them for later use, they turn out just as good; just pop them in the freezer after filling the cups and then bake a bit longer then in the original recipe.

EASY SAUSAGE CUPS (LIKE SAUSAGE STARS)



Easy Sausage Cups (Like Sausage Stars) image

This is a variation of Sausage Stars/Sausage Cup recipes that use wanton wrappers and ranch dressing. My version uses Tostitos Scoops (bowl shaped corn chips) and cream cheese for some of the ranch dressing. I made these for Christmas Eve and Super Bowl Sunday, and they were a huge hit on both occasions! You can make the filling in advance and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble and bake. If I am taking these to a party, I fill the shells before I leave home and bake when I arrive at the party. They are also great with regular ranch dressing, but we prefer parmesan peppercorn flavor.

SMOKEY SAUSAGE CUPS



Smokey Sausage Cups image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
6 ounces kielbasa, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Unfold the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 10x15-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry sheet into 24 (2 1/2-inch) squares. Press the pastry squares into 24 (1 3/4-inch) mini muffin-pan cups.
  • Stir the kielbasa, marmalade and mustard in a medium bowl. Spoon about 1 tablespoon kielbasa mixture into each pastry cup.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Sprinkle the pastries with the parsley before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a mini muffin tin for best results. A regular muffin tin will make the sausage cups too large.
  • If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can also use a regular muffin tin and just fill each cup about 1/3 full.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tin well before adding the sausage mixture. This will help the sausage cups come out easily.
  • Don't overcook the sausage cups. They should be cooked through, but still slightly juicy in the middle.
  • Serve the sausage cups with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Easy Sausage Cups are a quick and easy appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for something delicious and easy to make, give Easy Sausage Cups a try!
