  1. Cook beef, onion and mushrooms over medium-high heat in large skillet, stirring often and using back of spoon to break up meat into small chunks, for 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain, if necessary. Stir in pasta sauce and heat through. Remove from heat.
  2. Meanwhile, combine ricotta, parsley, green onion, salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl; set aside.

  4. Layer a second wonton into each cup and top each with about 1 tsp (5 mL) EACH of the cheeses. Divide meat mixture evenly among the cups (about 1/4 cup/60 mL EACH). Top with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella.
  5. Bake in preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are brown and filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Use a knife to remove each cup from pan.
