Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground beef or Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.25 cups Marinara sauce
• 0.75 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and add the diced onions. Sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked meat mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Step 7

Place one wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin tin cup, pressing it down gently into the sides to create a base layer.

Step 8

Add a spoonful of the meat sauce to each cup, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Top the meat sauce layer with a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the ricotta cheese mixture and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.

Step 10

Add another wonton wrapper on top of the first layer, pressing it down gently to secure it. Repeat with a second layer of meat sauce, ricotta mixture, and shredded mozzarella.

Step 11

Once all cups are layered, add a final sprinkle of mozzarella cheese to the top of each cupcake.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the wonton edges are crispy and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 13

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the lasagna cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove them with a fork or small spatula.

Step 14

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
