lasagna cupcakes....by kristi johnson

Ingredients: ½ lb 95% lean ground beef
1 ½ t 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 c pasta sauce

4 oz reduced fat 2% shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions: 1. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Lightly mist 8 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.

We like to have a Cesar Salad on the side w/ these!
