Now, I of course tweaked the recipe to a. make it taste how I wanted it to and b. make it easier.
-I used ground chuck instead of ground turkey. We can not stand ground turkey. I'm sure it would make it healthy if I used a leaner beef, but chuck is what we had on hand.
-I also used jarred spaghetti sauce. End of story.
-I always cook my beef with a little onions and a little salt and pepper.
-I added a teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the Ricotta Cheese.
So...here is my recipe:
3/4 lb of ground chuck
1 24oz jar of spaghetti sauce (our favorite is a mushroom and green pepper sauce)
1 15oz container of ricotta cheese
1 package of wonton wrappers (we ended up using 36 wrappers total)
2 1/2 cups of cheese (I used mozzarella and a little cheddar)
onions
1 tsp of Italian Seasoning
salt/pepper
Brown meat with onions, salt, and pepper. Pour sauce on top and stir until warm.
Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 wonton wrapper into each of the 12 cups, pressing firmly in the bottom of the cup and up the sides.
Mix Italian Seasoning with Ricotta cheese and spoon a teaspoon in the bottom of the wontons.
Then spoon a tablespoon of meat sauce on top of the ricotta.
Top with a sprinkle of cheese.
Press another wonton wrapper on top of the mixture. Repeat layers. Top generously with cheese. Bake for 10 min at 375 or until cheese is bubbly. Let cool in muffin tins. Scoop out with spoon. Enjoy!
-I ended up having enough ricotta and meat sauce to make 6 more. 18 total. I froze the remaining ones for another day!
Here are mine!!
