- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 24 3.5-inch wonton wrappers
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- chopped basil for garnish optional
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside 3/4 cup each of parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then ground beef, salt and pepper. Fry until browned, turning with a wooden spoon. Set aside.
Press a wonton into the bottom of a muffin cup. Scoop a few teaspoons each of ricotta, then parmesan, mozzarella, beef and finally sauce. Add a second wonton and repeat. Add a final pinch of reserved parmesan and mozzarella.
Repeat for remaining cups. Bake in the lower third of your oven for 15-18 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven and lift out the cups, using a knife if needed. Garnish with optional basil. Serve and enjoy!
- To save time, you can use meat pasta sauce instead of making homemade.
- Make Ahead: You can make these ahead of time and freeze for up to one month. Then thaw and reheat in the oven or microwave.
