How to Make Mini Lasagna Cups
To make them, you’ll need a 12-cup standard-size muffin pan along with 3-1/2 inch wonton wrappers, which you can find in larger supermarkets or Asian grocers.
Next, you’ll need to prepare the meat. Saute ground beef in a large skillet with salt and pepper until lightly browned.
Then press a square wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin cup. Add the other ingredients: ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, browned beef and marinara. Repeat one more time for each cup and you’re done!

Fantastic! A big hit.
Hi Gayle, That’s great to hear and thanks!
Can these be frozen? If so, would they turn out better if frozen when baked or unbaked?
Hi Connie, Thanks for your question. They freeze well baked or unbaked just like regular lasagna, so don’t hesitate 🙂 Enjoy!
