Petite Lasagnas

After heading out to pick up my mini muffin pan for my Pinterest food inspiration, I was ready to test it out!  There are several recipes for bite size lasagna out there, but I used the one from The Girl Who Ate Everything 

Ingredients:

- 1 Jar of Marina Sauce (did not use the whole thing)

- 1 Pound of Ground Beef

- 48 Wonton Wrappers (found these near the tofu section in the grocery store)

- Cheeses: Italian Blend, Parmesan, Mozzarella & Ricotta

- Salt, Pepper & Oregano to season (I ended up skipping out on the onions)

I started off by browning the beef, seasoning it with a little salt and pepper.

Spray the mini muffin pan and place one wrapper in each cup.  I used the whole wrapper, and simply folded it so it would fit inside the mini cups.  I felt like this gave more of a structure to the outside.

I sprinkled Parmesan & Italian blend cheese into each cup, followed by a half spoonful of ricotta.  Next, I layered the beef, a spoonful of marina sauce and a sprinkle of oregano.

For the second layer, Chris stepped in to help cut the wrappers.  We used the top of a shot glass and he was able to cut several at one time.  

I used the smaller circle wrapper and repeated the layers from before - cheese, meat, and sauce.  I finished them off with some more Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

Into the oven at 375 degrees for 18 minutes and out came

They popped out very easily, next time I won't use as much spray.  I served them with a spinach salad and some garlic toast.  I think this may have been Chris' favorite recipe to date because his were gone in no time and he went back for seconds.
