Lasagna Wonton Cupcakes

Oh my. Cheesy, saucy, meaty goodness all wrapped up in individual cupcake shaped packages is almost more than I could hope for, and yet here it is, for only 5 Green, Blue or Purple myWW Weight Watchers SmartPoints per “cupcake.” I’ve seen different variations of these Lasagna Wonton Cupcakes on various blogs and recipe web sites and I couldn’t wait to put my own spin on it. These little lasagnas are packed full of flavor and are much faster and easier to make than traditional lasagna. When people say “good things come in small packages” I’m pretty sure these Lasagna Wonton Cupcakes are what they are talking about.

Lasagna "Cupcakes"

These Lasagna Wonton Cupcakes are bursting with meaty, cheesy, saucy lasagna flavor and made in a muffin tin!

Ingredients

  • ½ lb 95% lean ground beef
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 5 oz mushrooms, chopped
  • 16 wonton wrappers, check the produce department!
  • 4 oz fat free Ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ oz Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup pasta sauce, I used Wegmans brand Tomato & Basil
  • 4 oz reduced fat 2% shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly mist 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a sauté pan or large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and Italian seasoning and brown beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Add mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until mushrooms are browned as well.
  • Push a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each of the eight sprayed cups in the muffin tin. Using about half of the ricotta, spoon evenly into the wonton wrappers. Follow by spooning some of the meat/mushroom mixture into each cup (using about half the total mixture) and then splitting ½ cup of the sauce between each cup. Sprinkle about half the mozzarella and half the Parmesan evenly over the top of each cup. Press another wonton wrapper on top and repeat the layering steps with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.
