Lasagna Cupcakes

Well, I finally got the break I have been longing for! Both of the kids went to my in laws today and it has been so nice. I was able to run some errands and then, get this, eat my dinner in silence! Woah! :)
While I have the time I wanted to pop on and share one of my family's new favorite recipes! I found them over on Fabulessly Frugal's site. They are LASAGNA CUPCAKES. So delicious and easy!




Ingredients
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 3/4 pound ground beef
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • 3 ounces Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces Ricotta cheese
  • (optional) basil for garnish
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Brown beef and season with salt and pepper. Drain.
  3. Cut wonton wrappers into circle shapes using a biscuit cutter or using the top of a drinking glass. You can cut several at a time.
  4. Reserve 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and 6 tablespoon mozzarella for the top of you cupcakes. Start layering your lasagna cupcakes. Begin with a wonton wrapper and press it into the bottom of each muffin tin. Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with a little meat sauce and marinara sauce. Use around 1-2 teaspoons of all the ingredients depending on your personal preference.
  5. Repeat layers ending with marinara sauce. Top with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. To remove use a knife to loosen the edges then pop each lasagna out.
  7. Garnish with basil and serve
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! This has become a regular in our household. Happy Monday! :)

  2. I hope you like them! Just an FYI- I don't cut the wonton wrappers into a circle. I just leave them as a square and let the tops poke up- we like how they get a little extra crispy! :)
