Lasagna Cupcakes

Someone may have said this already, but it's easier to start with Ricotta cheese first, then add the mozzarella > Parm > beef > Sauce >repeat. Other than that tip they are freaking amazing!!! Oh I also season the beef with just more than salt and pepper. We use Goya Adoba. Sazon Goya.

Just made these, easy and delicious!

i want to make these so bad

My family and I love lasagna. I had been looking for a way to make single serving lasagna without having to bake individual mini lasagnas in their own little glass baking dish. The wonton skins are a stroke of genus! I tried it a few days ago, they turned out beautifully. My family loved them and the leftovers reheated nicely in the microwave. Thanks for this innovative idea, I will definately be making these again and again :D

Hi! Other users have had success reheating these in the microwave!

Can these be made ahead of time? If so how do you recommend reheating?

OMGoodness!!!!! These are absolutely amazing!! Tried them out on my boys first, substituted breakfast sausage for the beef, and they couldn't get enough of them!
Made them for an office potluck and my entire tray of 35 - GONE!!!!

Is there someone who knows the nutritional information on these? I would like to make them again for Weight Watchers and I need to find out for points. Please mail me at tammyjohgp@yahoo.com if anyone can help me out. Thank you so very much.

Did anyone ever try to make these with pre made pie crust? I wonder if that too would also work.

Thankfully I made a double batch because my kids and hubby loved these. Super easy and quick!

I made these last week and used fresh lasagna noodles which I cute to fit the muffin tin. I didn't need to cook them in advance as they cooked in the sauce during the baking. My husband loved them and ate SIX in one sitting! I think these will become part of the regular rotation!

i've made these twice now and they're AWESOME! i don't cut the wonton wrappers at all and it gives them a nice little crisp. i don't have a 6 cup pan, so i double up the amount of wrappers and use my 12 cup pan, but between my husband and i there's only about 4 left for lunch the next day! thanks for the idea, because i'm making them again tonight!

This recipe is great, creative and quirky. Me and my boyfriend Guillaume cooked them yesterday and they came out super delicious. We decided to top them with small covers using the wonton wrapper dough (we had to make the dough ourselves because we couldn't find wonton wrappers in the supermarket; the dough took like 2 hours to make because we're both inexperienced). We also put a bit of cheese on top of the covers. The cover idea was a total success! It helped keep everything in place and it was crunchy, cheesy and ...delicious! I really can't think of a more appropriate word for this whole experience apart from "delicious".

They were ok. The small portion size makes them good for kids and would be fun to serve at a party. I found the wonton wrappers easy to work wih, but tasted suspiciously like wonton wrappers (hum... go figure...). If I make it again, I'd prefer to use the same technique, but with boiled lasagne noodles instead. However, if I'm gonna bother with that, might as well just make a real lasagne. That said, they are fun. It would be cool to have the ingredients out and let the kids do their own layers.

Made these for dinner and kids and hubby loved it! Did not cut wonton wrappers into circles and they made a yummy crust. Decided to make some up and then freeze them so the kids could throw one in the microwave for an afterschool snack.

We play cards at night and these sound as if they would be the perfect thing to serve instead of cake. Can hardly wait to make.

So Yummy! I made these tonight. Everyone loved them! I used meat sauce instead of browning up meat and I browned up some mushrooms and onions. I combined the ricotta with parm cheese, garlic and parsley. I didn't bother cutting the wontons, it just made a couple of crispy edges (which we love). I love how east this is to personalize. I think I will use this as a dinner party recipe and let everyone make their own lasagna cup.

i hade all my younger cousins over, 10 kids ranging from 3 to 13 years old and EVERY CHILD liked it it was so nice for the younger kids, they were not messy like after normal lasagna. and even the pickiest of eaters went back for seconds!! GREAT recipe! thanks!

I tried them last week. they were a Huge hit!! as a single man, you havd to have a "Signature dish" and this works.

I finally made these tonight and they are so yummy my husband and neighbors loved them :) plus they are so easy to make

Anonymous: You can generally find wonton wrappers in the produce isle of your grocery store. Mine are usually near where you find the prepackaged veggies/dips/personal salads.

My family loved them. We had them before the 100% whole wheat pizza. Great way to start a meal!

can you do them with cupcake wrappers
where do you find wonton wrappers

I would LOVE to try these in mini-muffin tins, (with smaller cut wonton circles) as an appetizer for parties. Maybe I will do that for our next function...

Helena

wow.....thats all I can say!

Is there any way to get the nutritional value of this recipe? Thanks

@anonymous: Because you are doubling up on layers ;)

Why does the reccipe call for 12 wonton wrappers , if you`re only making 6 cupcakes ?

Loved these! My girls loved helping mommy make them and the wonton wrappers make this dish so nice and light. Where lasagna can sometimes be heavy because the noodle is so dense, this one is light and flavorful. A definite must for our weekly menu!

I can hardly wait to try these. I love that the cooking time is so much shorter, not to mention the nice presentation they make. I think they would be great for bulk cooking and freezing, such as once-a-month cooking. You could line the muffin tins with plastic wrap, fill the wells, then place the muffin tin in the freezer until the 'cupcakes' are frozen. Then remove the mini-lasagnas from the pan and pop them into freezer bags. You could take out however many you want when you're ready to bake them, put them back into the prepared muffin tin, and increase the bake time!

@Littlesova,
Sounds like a yummy variation. I will have to try that!

Made this tonight with Alfredo instead of Marinara and ground chicken instead of beef. Huge hit with my husband!
