These are a little more time intensive than I usually like to do but I came across a similar recipe and wanted to give it a try. These were really good. I especially like the way the wontons get nice and crispy all around. This recipe makes 12. Next time we make this - I'm going to double it and freeze some for another night.
Let's Get Crafty!
Preheat oven to 350
Cook on medium heat (approximately 10-15 minutes):
1 lb Italian sausage, cooked and drained
1 small onion, finely diced
1 tablespoons minced garlic
4 oz tomato sauce (I did 1/2 the 8 oz can)
14 oz fire roasted tomatoes
1 tablespoon fresh basil (I really like the added flavor of the tubes kept in the produce section)
1 cup beef broth
While those flavors are combining and cooking together - mix the following together:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup monterey jack and cheddar cheese
Rather than noodles these are layered together using wonton wrappers. You'll want at least 48 to have 4 wonton wrappers for each cup.
Spray non-stick spray in each of the muffin tins
Layer them up:
2 wonton wrappers at the bottom of each spread out to fill each tin
1 tablespoon of sausage spaghetti sauce using a spoon to spread out
Cover with another wonton wrapper
1/2 tablespoon of cheese mixture
Cover with another wonton wrapper
1 more tablespoon of sausage spaghetti sauce
Top with extra cheese
Bake 15-20 minutes checking about halfway through
(I turned up the heat to 425 for the last couple minutes to help toast them up even more.)
Heading in the oven
Coming out hot!
Here they are on a pretty plate all by themselves looking...
pretty. :)
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful day.
