Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
⅓ pound ground beef
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
24 wonton wrappers
-
1 ¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
¾ cup ricotta cheese
-
1 cup pasta sauce (such as Muir Glen®)
-
¼ cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste (Optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare muffin cups with cooking spray.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Drain and discard grease from beef.
-
Cut wonton wrappers into 2 1/4-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. Press one wonton into the bottom of each muffin cup. Sprinkle even amounts of Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and ricotta cheese into each muffin cup; top each portion with even amounts of ground beef and pasta sauce.
-
Divide 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 of the ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the ground beef mixture, and 1/2 cup pasta sauce, between the muffin cups and layer, respectively, atop wonton wrapper; repeat layering with remaining wonton wrappers, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, remaining ricotta cheese, remaining ground beef, and remaining pasta sauce. Top "cupcakes" with remaining Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake in preheated oven until edges of "cupcakes" are browned, 18 to 20 minutes; let rest in tins for 5 minutes before running a knife around the edges to loosen and remove. Garnish with fresh basil to serve.
Cook’s Note
You can also use the top of a drinking glass to cut wonton wrappers. You can cut several at a time. However, for a more rustic look, no cutting is necessary!
