Easy Gameday Appetizer

These bite-sized treats are perfect for gameday or anytime you need a quick and easy appetizer. Just 3 ingredients in the filling: breakfast sausage, Ranch dressing and cheese.

How To Make Sausage Ranch Phyllo Cups

First you’ll brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain the grease off and mix it with about 1/2 a cup of bottled Ranch dressing and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese. I like to use shredded Mexican cheese but you could use cheddar cheese or even Monterey Jack cheese.

The filling can be made a day in advance and then it just takes a few minutes to fill the phyllo cups and pop them in the oven.

I absolutely love using phyllo cups for easy appetizers. You can fill them with just about anything and I love their crunchy, flaky texture.

Freeze For Later

These Sausage Ranch Phyllo Cups are easily frozen. Just save the plastic tray that the phyllo cups come in and place the filled phyllo cups back in the tray. Place the tray in a freezer bag and stick it in the freezer.

How To Make Spicy

If you want these bite-sized sausage cups to be spicy, use “HOT” breakfast sausage or add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling. Or you could even try using spicy ranch dressing.
