These Mini Lasagna Cups are cute little servings of a favorite Italian dish, perfect for a snack or appetizer. Eat lasagna without the guilt.

Every once in awhile I buy these wonton wrappers because I find them extremely versatile. I’ve made several recipes with wonton wrappers, such as my Strawberry and Nutella Wontons, Turkey and Mushroom Rolls, and Mini Apple Pies in Wonton Wrappers. So I thought it was time for another savory recipe with these wrappers.

I actually made these lasagna cups back in January but I never got around to posting it, until now. The meat mixture is exactly the same as I used for my stuffed zucchini, I just made a lot then, so out of it I actually made three different dishes. In either case there’s ground beef, chorizo sausage and spaghetti sauce here. It’s really delicious.

Basically, you just cook the beef in a large skillet until it’s no longer pink, add spices and chorizo sausage. Next pour the spaghetti sauce over it and mix well. Then you coat a 12 cup mini muffin tin with cooking oil. Make sure you spray it well, you don’t want these babies sticking. Arrange a wonton wrapper in each cup and in each cup add a tablespoon of ricotta cheese. Add meat mixture then cheese and voila!

 And that’s all she wrote. These mini lasagnas cups are super easy to make and they are extremely delicious. Not to mention they won’t make you feel so guilty as you eat them. 😉

Can you make these and then reheat later on (like an hour or two later)? Or would the wonton wrappers get soggy? I really can’t wait to try this!

so simple to put together w/ precooked meat mixture . or whatever your using to make your version.
much better to make before ready to serve. reheating can be soggy bottoms or too crispy . Assemble before serving, cook then leave in a warm oven till ready.

I am going to try precooking the wontons cups formake ahead and heating the meat mixture (micro, pip instant pot, oven slow cooker)
you just assemble or make it a fun food party appetizer for kids too,
then just warm in hot preheated oven.
or try those mini scoop corn chip cup and assemble.

This sounds great but can I make this early and serve later in the day or would the wonton wrappers get soggy?

Well they are best served right away because they can get a bit soggy later on.

My sister in law found this recipe for me. Our family loved them. I also made a taco version of this. Instead of ricotta cheese on the bottom, I used retried beans. Omitted the spaghetti sauce and added a tablespoon of taco seasoning instead. Fixed the rest as normal. Garnished with a dollop of sour cream and diced tomatoes right before serving. So good!

These look great! One thing….you say to use “mini” muffin tins but it looks like you’re using a regular muffin pan. Are my eyes deceiving me?

Hi Jen,
Well it’s mini to me, it’s the small one, not the one for the jumbo muffins. So I guess you’re right. 🙂
