Lasagna Wonton Bites

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups onions, chopped
• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 29 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• Mozzarella cheese
• 1 package of wonton shells

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Flip a mini muffin tin over, and mold the wonton shells to the overturned tin.
3. Bake for 10 minutes (or until wonton shells are crisp and browned), then remove from the oven and set aside.
4. In a large Dutch oven, measure the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
5. Add the onion to the pan and cook until they have softened.
6. Add the ground beef, seasoning liberally with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.
7. Pour in the red wine, and deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the Dutch oven. Cook until the wine has reduced by half, then add the petite diced tomatoes, water and seasonings.
8. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover partially, and simmer for 30 minutes.
9. Prepare the Lasagna Bites: Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese into the wonton shells, then top with the meat sauce and more cheese.
10. Enjoy warm.
