Mini Lasagna Cups



When you are a family of 2 it's hard to make a big dish like lasagna without most of it going to waste. I was trying to come up with a smaller family-size way of making a big family meal. So to my muffin pan I went. 

Not only were these delicious, they were not messy like normal lasagna and they cooked extremely fast! 


Ingredients
1 cup marinara sauce
1 lb ground beef
24 wonton wrappers
1 cup mozzarella cheese
6 ounces parmesan cheese
4 ounces ricotta cheese
Italian seasoning (however much you like)
1 Garlic glove minced
1 bag of mini pepperoni

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.

Brown beef and drain excess grease.

In a small pan mix together your garlic, ricotta cheese and Italian seasoning.

Place a wonton wrapper into your muffin pan, push so wrapper is firmly on the bottom. You will have the corners sticking to the side.

Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese onto your wonton, add a teaspoon or ricotta cheese, top with a small pepperoni, and add some meat, top meat with marinara sauce, sprinkle with more parmesan cheese and top with mozzarella.  Add another wonton on top on the mozzarella and repeat this step.

After repeating you will have 2 layers, with your top layer being mozzarella cheese. I sprinkled ever last bit of my cheese on top.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Each lasagna should pop out easily. 

Garnish with left over sauce.
