Lasagna Cupcakes

Layers of cheese and meat in a cupcake.

Ingredients:

1/3     pound ground beef

Salt and pepper

24      wonton wrappers

1 3/4  cups Parmesan cheese, grated

1 3/4  cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

3/4     cup ricotta cheese

1        cup Muir Glen™ pasta sauce

Basil for garnish (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Brown beef, and season with salt and pepper. Drain.
• Cut wonton wrappers into circle shapes (about 2 1/4- inches) using a biscuit cutter or the top of a drinking glass. You can cut several at a time. Note: For a more rustic look, no cutting necessary!
• Reserve 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese for the top of your 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 in each. Top with a little meat and pasta sauce.
• Repeat layers again (i.e. wonton, Parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella and pasta sauce). Top with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
• 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.
• Garnish with basil and serve.
