Breakfast Sausage Won ton Appetizer

Fun & Easy appetizer recipe can easily make ahead and then heat up for serving. We made these last weekend for the Super Bowl.

16 oz Jimmy Dean's Breakfast sausage

3 cups cheddar cheese

1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix

2.25 oz can chopped black olives

1/2 cup chopped red pepper

1 small onion chopped

1 package won ton wrappers

oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, press a won ton wrapper into each of the cups or a regular size muffin tin & brush lightly with oil. Back for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from tins & place on cookie sheet or store in an air tight container if you are making them ahead.

In a separate pan, combine red pepper, onion, & sausage. Brown & drain. Add in olives, ranch packet & cheese, mix well. Fill each won ton 3/4 full with sausage/cheese mixture & return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Italian Pork Chops & Parmesan Oven Fries

Oven Fries
Ingredients:
2 russet potatoes, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, halves cut lengthwise into fourths to make 16 big, fat wedges
1/4 cup extra-virgin Olive Oil
Salt (we used Sea salt)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Preheat a baking sheet in the hot oven for at least 5 minutes.
While the baking sheet is heating, toss the potatoes with the olive oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Then dump the potatoes out onto a baking sheet, spreading to a single layer. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, shaking the pan every now and then, until the potatoes are cooked through, brown and crispy. Toss the fries in a big bowl with the parsley and cheese.

Italian Pork Chops

Ingredients:
1 cup Italian bread crumbs

1 cup plain bread crumbs

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian-style seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup Italian salad dressing
6 pork chops

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian-style seasoning and garlic powder and mix together well.
Dip the chops in the Italian salad dressing and then dredge each chop in the bread crumb mixture, coating all sides thoroughly. Place the chops in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake at 425 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees.

These are perfect to make together, the oven temp is the same & the cook time is similar. Just a little side salad & you dinner is ready to go.
