    How to Make Lasagna Cups - Do you love lasagna but hate the time it takes to prepare? Lasagna Cups are the answer! These are easy to assemble and SO good!

    I used a 6 cup muffin tin to make these since I was just cooking for a few of us. My husband and I each had two cups with some veggies and the kids split the rest. If you are cooking for more people, simply double the recipe and use a 12 cup muffin tin.

    The wonton wrappers sometimes stick together in the package. Make sure you separate them or you will have super thick lasagna cups.

    I used low fat ricotta cheese for this recipe because I don't think it really changes the taste and why not save a few calories when you can. You can use whatever version you like or happen to have on hand.

    The cooked ground beef crumbles get mixed right in with the ricotta and shredded mozzarella cheese.

    If you know how to make lasagna, these lasagna cups are constructed in a similar way. It is all a matter of layering.

    If you are making a small portion of these and using the 6 cup muffin tin then you can just pop this in a toaster oven to bake. No need to heat up the entire house. That is a big selling point if you are making them on a 100 degree day like I did.

    To get these out of the pan intact, use a fork to loosen up the cups before removing them.
