Bubba's Tacos

Here is a quick and easy recipe from our friend's, the Howes. Since getting this recipe a couple weeks ago, it has become a Sunday football staple. It got the name from Micki's uncle, Bubba, who made a version with ranch dressing. Micki and Heath changed it up a bit and since we have gotten the recipe, we have changed it up a bit.
I have made the filling the night before then refrigerated it overnight, set it out while at church then when you get home, an easy and quick lunch while you watch the football game. It also makes quite a bit so we usually save half the mixture for a quick dinner during the weeknight

Bubba's Tacos

3 small tubes of sausage (we like hot)
2 cartons of cream cheese (we use fat free)softened
1 bell pepper (diced)
1 onion (diced)
1 package of won ton wrappers (in the refrigerated section by the veggies and tofu)
muffin pan

Heat the oven to 350. Brown your sausage, bell pepper and onion in a large pot. Drain. Return the meat and veggies to the pot and add your cream cheese. Stir until well mixed. Place one won ton wrapper in each muffin "spot", pushing it down into the opening. Add a spoon of meat mixture into the wrapper, leaving the wrapper up or open.
Bake for 10 minutes and serve.

I like mine with a bit of "Slap ya Mama" Cajun spice sprinkled on top. Mo likes his with salsa. Heath and Micki add some green chilies to theirs and the kids usually like them "plain". Never tried it with ground turkey sausage but its a thought or some finely diced mushrooms would be tasty.

I will try and post a pic next time we make them so you can see what I mean by leaving the won ton wrapper open.

Now, to be honest, I don't like the name Bubba's Tacos but can't find anything else I like. Mo's bid for the new name is "suppleness" but I just can't bring myself to say, "Suppleness is ready." so that name is out. Let me know if you like them and if you can think of a better name. Enjoy!
