1 pound bulk pork sausage
2 cups shredded Colby cheese
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
1/2 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
2 bunches green onions, sliced
1/2 cup ranch salad dressing

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly press wonton wrappers onto the bottoms and up the sides of 48 greased miniature muffin cups. Bake until edges are browned, about 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain. Stir in cheese, peppers, green onion and salad dressing. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon into each wonton cup. Bake until heated through, 6-7 minutes.
