Easy Sausage Cups Like Sausage Stars

---

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.
