Ingredients
Scale
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- ½ small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp burger seasoning or steak seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup dill pickle slices, chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise (for burger sauce)
- 2 tbsp ketchup (for burger sauce)
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard (for burger sauce)
- 1 tbsp dill pickle relish (for burger sauce)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (for burger sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Press a second wrapper into each cup at a slight angle to create a star shape.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the wrappers are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside. Leave the oven on.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, burger seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Spoon the beef mixture into the baked wonton cups. Top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven for 4–6 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle relish, and smoked paprika to make the burger sauce.
- Remove the cups from the oven. Top each with shredded lettuce, crumbled bacon, and chopped pickles.
- Drizzle with burger sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- Keep the wonton cups crispy by adding the lettuce and pickles right before serving!
