I used a 6 cup muffin tin to make these since I was just cooking for a few of us. My husband and I each had two cups with some veggies and the kids split the rest. If you are cooking for more people, simply double the recipe and use a 12 cup muffin tin.
The wonton wrappers sometimes stick together in the package. Make sure you separate them or you will have super thick lasagna cups.
I used low fat ricotta cheese for this recipe because I don't think it really changes the taste and why not save a few calories when you can. You can use whatever version you like or happen to have on hand.
The cooked ground beef crumbles get mixed right in with the ricotta and shredded mozzarella cheese.
If you know how to make lasagna, these lasagna cups are constructed in a similar way. It is all a matter of layering.
Each lasagna cup will use 3 wonton wrappers.
You simply layer a wrapper, the meat/cheese mixture and sauce.
Then you repeat until you have used all three wrappers.
For the top layer, you will add some shredded mozzarella cheese.
If you are making a small portion of these and using the 6 cup muffin tin then you can just pop this in a toaster oven to bake. No need to heat up the entire house. That is a big selling point if you are making them on a 100 degree day like I did.
To get these out of the pan intact, use a fork to loosen up the cups before removing them.
Any leftovers you have make a great lunch the next day. Just a few minutes in the microwave and you are good to go!
If you have kids, this is a great recipe to have them help make. Mine enjoyed helping with the construction and layering.
