Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the tomato sauce. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Season with salt, pepper, and additional Italian seasoning if desired.
While the meat sauce is simmering, prepare the cheese mixture by combining the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, the egg, and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Grease a muffin tin and place two wonton wrappers in each muffin cup, creating a base for your lasagna cups. You can slightly overlap the wrappers to guarantee coverage.
Begin layering by spooning a small amount of the meat sauce into each cup, followed by a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of meat sauce topped with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake the lasagna cups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Extra Tips:
For a flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic to the meat sauce or incorporating vegetables like spinach or mushrooms into the layers.
You can also experiment with different types of cheese or ground meat to suit your taste. If you plan to freeze the lasagna cups, let them cool completely before placing them in airtight containers.
They can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and satisfying meal later on. Enjoy your delicious Beef Mince Lasagna Cups!
