Makes 6
- 1 pound ground beef
- 24 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- 8 ounces part skim ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 Tablespoon grated parmesan
- 1 package wonton wrappers
For the meat mixture
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, crumbling until no longer pink. Drain the fat from the beef really well. Remove from heat.
Add 24 ounce jar spaghetti sauce and ¼ cup mozzarella to the meat, stirring to combine. Set aside.
For the cheese mixture
In a medium size bowl, combine 8 ounces part skim ricotta cheese, 1 egg, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, 2 Tablespoon grated parmesan. Mix well.
Grease 12 cup muffin tins. Place two wonton wrappers, overlapping slightly to make a cup that will fill the muffin tin. Tuck the corners in and down if you don't want crunchy corners.Repeat with the remaining cups. Place about 2 Tablespoons of the meat sauce in the bottom of the cup. (The idea here is to evenly distribute the meat mixture among all the cups.Add 1-2 Tablespoons of the cheese mixture. Top with another 2 Tablespoons of meat mixture and remaining ¼ cup of mozzarella. Bake 12-15 minutes until wrappers are cooked and cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. They will be hot!
Variations:
- We always have a freezer full of beef, but you could 100% make these with bulk Italian sausage.
- Sneak some frozen and thawed spinach into the mix. Do what my Mom used to do and tell the kids (okay, and probably your husband, too) that it’s parsley.
- Cook a batch up, then cool and wrap individually. They’ll store in the freezer for up to three months.
Tips:
- Use a thick spaghetti sauce, not a thin or watery one.
- Drain the beef really well.
- Tuck the wrapper corners in and down if you don't want crunchy corners.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. They keep 3 to 4 days in the fridge.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 380 for about 3 to 4 minutes, then check on them. Or microwave. Thaw frozen ones in the fridge overnight first. They won't microwave well from frozen.
