SAUSAGE CHEESE CUPS
News from the Jones household: We have made major changes in our schedule over the last week. For the first time since Lincoln was five, he is not swimming on the swim team every day. People! That is like a 1.5 gift of time added to my day. Literally! Lincoln swam for an hour a day, four days a week, so by the time I drove him to the pool and waited, it took an hour and a half. We decided he needed a break and time to try other sports. so he’s taking tennis and golf lessons which are only two days a week. He is enjoying the change and the challenge of learning new sports.
Ryder has swum on and off for the last few years, but has never been as passionate about it as Lincoln. We enrolled him in tennis. He had his first lesson today. As I was driving him to practice, he was talking non-stop, which is what he does when he’s nervous! So I’m accustomed to it and I just let him talk, replying with the occasional ‘huh’ and ‘yeah’. As we were parking, he said, “Mommie, I hope there’s just one person here I know. Then I hope I don’t know anybody else, and I get to make new friends. I like making new friends!”…. I did laugh out loud! That’s my Ryder, he’s just like his Dad! He couldn’t give a flip about what he’s doing as long as there are people around to talk to and socialize with!
He’s like that wherever we go. He’ll make friends with anybody anywhere! Ryder loves to tailgate because there are tons of people to talk to, play with, and plenty of pretty girls to look at. Yep, he may only be eight, but he knows a cute girl when he sees one!
So we tailgate on Saturday for the first time this season, and I decided to make a simple dish that’s been one of our favorites for a long time. Sausage Cheese Cups are incredibly simple yet incredibly delicious! Prep these appetizers the day before, and it makes party prep or tailgating a breeze!

Sausage Wonton Bite Tips
- Wonton wrappers are delicate. Handle them gently when pressing them into the muffin pan to avoid tearing them.
- If working with a large batch, keep the stack of wonton wrappers wrapped in a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out and becoming brittle.
- Mini muffin pans are perfect for bite-sized wonton cups, but you can also use a standard muffin pan for larger cups.
Easy Make-ahead Sausage Cheese Cups
- You can par-bake the wontons to save time. Once cooled, store the empty wonton cups in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen in a freezer bag within a hard-sided container to prevent breakage for up to 3 months.
- As well, you can prepare the filling in advance. Store it in an airtight container, separate from your cups, in the refrigerator. Reheat the filling and fill the wonton cups just before serving.
