Ready for the Superbowl?? I can’t wait to make this delicious Superbowl appetizer, ranch sausage stars. There’s something kind of awesome about ranch. I do not at all understand when people don’t like it. It’s actually what got me to eat salad finally. I resisted the whole salad thing until I was in highschool!
Can you believe that? But at one point I was really hungry and we were all on vacation at the beach. We headed to a restaurant for dinner and not only had it taken quite a while to get to the restaurant but once we arrived it was super slow service. My mom had ordered a side salad with her clam chowder and I was so hungry I was desperate. I asked her if I could just have a crouton and she said, “if you try the salad too!” I carefully, and half whining stuck my fork in that awful, crunchy, watery, romain lettuce, stabbed a huge, buttery crouton and delicately dipped it in the ranch so I could say I’d done it even though there was only a little dab on there.
And it was good.
It was creamy.
And I had discovered a new love, croutons and ranch. The lettuce wasn’t bad either and over the next few years I learned that I actually love salad and ranch! Which has nothing to do with these ranch sausage stars, but you should still make them because hello, RANCH baby!

Do these freeze well? Thinking of doing them as a passed cocktail appetizer before a wedding receptions and would need to have about 400 on hand to reheat? Thoughts?

Hi Connie,
You could bake and freeze the wontons, but you’ll want to do the rest of it fresh.

Where can I find those wonton wrappers here in Pakistan? I’m sure they’re not available so do you have a substitute for it?
Sweet Basil
I’m so sorry, but I’m not sure exactly what you could substitute. You could try pasta dough rolled very very thin.

Us too! When we first posted it years and years ago we had it all the time, but slowly forgot so I just HAD to bring it back to the front. 🙂

Can’t wait to make these. Looks so yummy with the bell peppers, which my kids love. Bonus!
Your salad story is hilarious. Love it!!

Thanks Jessica!

I have made these for over 10 years. I make them for our office Christmas party, New Years Eve parties and at special times during the year. When I say I’m going to have the parties catered, people groan and specifically request these stars. I make them with crushed red pepper instead of the diced green and red bell pepper. So many compliments!
Sweet Basil
They are the best! Now I can’t wait to try it your way!
