Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lasagna Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give your muffin tin a light spritz of cooking spray to ensure those delicious bites come out easily.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat things up over medium-high heat and add your ground beef.
Step 3
Cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Don’t forget to season it with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drain any excess grease to keep your dish nice and light.
Step 5
Next, grab some wonton wrappers and use a biscuit cutter to create 2 1/4-inch circles.
Step 6
Gently press one of these circles into the bottom of each muffin cup, creating a delightful little base for your layers.
Step 7
Now, let’s build those scrumptious muffin cups! Start by sprinkling a bit of Parmesan cheese at the bottom, then add a layer of gooey mozzarella cheese, followed by a dollop of creamy ricotta.
Step 8
Top this off with a generous portion of your cooked ground beef and a spoonful of rich pasta sauce.
Step 9
Repeat this layering magic: place another wonton wrapper on top, then add more Parmesan and mozzarella, the remaining ricotta, the rest of the ground beef, and another spoonful of pasta sauce.
Step 10
Finish off with a final sprinkle of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese to create a golden, cheesy crown.
Step 11
Now it’s time to bake! Pop your muffin tin into the preheated oven and let it bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are a lovely golden brown.
Step 12
Once they’re done, allow your muffin cups to rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 13
This is the perfect time to savor the aroma wafting through your kitchen! After resting, carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the tin.
Step 14
Gently remove your delicious creations and, if you like, garnish with fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 15
Enjoy your delightful muffin cups, perfect for any occasion!.
