CONS

The wonton wrappers can become soggy if the lasagna cupcakes are overcooked, and the recipe calls for the use of ground beef, which may not suit everyone’s dietary preference.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Although Lasagna Cupcakes are not particularly healthy, they can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. They are a good source of protein and calcium if made with lean ground beef and low-fat cheeses.
