Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sausage Cups Appetizer.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   In a medium-high heated frying pan, toss in the sausage and let it sizzle.

3. Step 3

   Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks, stirring until it’s fully browned, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once cooked, drain the sausage and set it aside to cool.

5. Step 5

   In a mixing bowl, blend together regular cream cheese, garden vegetable cream cheese, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped red bell pepper, chopped green onion, and the cooled sausage until everything is harmoniously combined.

   Now, unroll one package of crescent dough and shape it into a 9x12-inch rectangle.

7. Step 7

   Slice the dough into 24 squares, creating 6 rows across and 4 rows down, then repeat this with the second package.

8. Step 8

   Gently press one square of dough into each cup of two nonstick 24-cup mini muffin tins, ensuring it lines the bottom and sides.

9. Step 9

   Generously spoon a heaping teaspoon of the savory sausage filling into each cup, filling them to the brim without packing it down.

    Slide the muffin tins into your preheated oven and bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the dough turns a delightful golden brown.
