Cheeseburger Cupcakes


Cheeseburger Cupcakes

This recipe we had for the first time a week ago. A cousin of mine has also decided to make a change in her life and has been doing AWESOME eating healthy, working out and losing weight!!! I'm super proud of her! We've been good motivators for each other and as a thank you from her, she came over after church last week and cooked lunch for us. These cheeseburger cupcakes were awesome!! They reminded me very much in flavor of the bacon cheeseburger wraps that I absolutely adore so I was totally in love with these! I'm excited to be making them myself this week for my own menu plan! Can't wait to have them again!

Ingredients:
¼ c. onion, finely chopped
½ lb. extra lean ground beef
1 T. McCormick Hamburger seasoning
4 oz. mushrooms, chopped
3 Weight Watchers White Cheddar soft cheese wedges
3 T. ketchup
1 T. mustard
16 wonton wrappers
½ c. tomatoes, chopped
4 oz. (about 1 cup) 2% shredded cheddar cheese 

Directions:
1.   Preheat oven to 375, spray 8 cups in a muffin tin.
2.   Spray large skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium heat. Add onions and sauté a few minutes until cooked. Add ground beef and hamburger seasoning and cook until meat is browned. Add mushrooms and cook a few more minutes until mushrooms are browned as well.
3.   Put meat mixture in a microwave safe bowl, add cheese wedges, ketchup and mustard. Microwave for 1 minute then stir really well until cheese is all melted and well-coated on the ground beef.
4.   Put a wonton wrapper into each of the 8 muffin cups. Using half the meat mixture, divide evenly among the 8 cups. Then using half the tomatoes, sprinkle evenly among the cups, followed with half of the shredded cheese, sprinkled evenly among the cups. Then repeat layering with remaining ingredients: wonton wrapper, meat mixture, tomatoes, shredded cheese.
5.   Bake for 18-20 minutes and allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
 
Yields 8 servings – WWP+ 4 per serving.
