Blog Challenge Day 9: Favorite Christmas Recipe



My all time favorite holiday recipe is what my family calls Won Tons (Some call Sausage Stars).


Package of won ton wrappers
1 lb. sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 ½ C. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 ½ C. Monterey jack cheese, grated

(Or can use 3 cups of the premixed bag of cheese)
1 C. Hidden Valley ranch salad dressing

Press one won ton wrapper in each cup of a muffin tin; Bake at 350 for five minutes (or until the edges are just golden brown). Remove won tons and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining won tons; set aside. Combine remaining ingredients well and fill baked wrappers. Bake at 350 for an additional five minutes or until bubbly. Makes 4-5 dozen.



This is a picture of what they look like before you put them in the 2nd time to get melty. I like mine a little more brown than this the first time so they get crispy the 2nd time but not burnt.






Another favorite recipe is Oreo Truffles.




1 pack of double stuffed oreos (double stuffed is better than regular in my opinion but both will work)
1 cream cheese
1 pack of white almond bark


Crush oreos in a food processer until dust like consistency, make sure to get all big peices. Save a few tablespoons of the oreo crumbs aside for cute decorations for top of truffles. Then add cream cheese and oreo dust together (mix with hands same way you would a cheese ball) until evenly mixed together. Roll out little balls about a 1/2 inch and place on cookie sheet. Then put in fridge to chill for about 10 mins. Melt almond bark and dip oreo balls into the chocolate. While still wet sprinkle a few of the oreo crumbs you set aside onto the top. Store in fridge.

Gah! I love sausage stars! My great aunt used to make them when we'd get together at my great grandmother's house but then she died so no one gets together for Christmas anymore and I haven't had a sausage star in five years. Thanks for the recipe!
