These wonton cups are great for any tailgate or watch party on game day. They would be equally as good for Taco Tuesday or Cinco de Mayo. I made them using ground beef from my ButcherBox.

Why Butcher Box?
You may have heard me talk about Butcher Box before on Instagram because I’m a ButcherBox partner and truly love this brand!
If you’re not familiar with ButcherBox, they are an a meat delivery service that thoughtfully sources meat and seafood from partners who are dedicated to doing the right thing. This means:
- Beef is grass-fed and grass-finished
- Pork is heritage-breed
- Chicken is free-range and organic
- Seafood is wild-caught
ALL DELIVERED TO YOUR FRONT DOOR STEP! What I like most about ButcherBox is that I can order my meat and decide what I’m cooking later, rather than being locked into a specific recipe that doesn’t sound good later in the week. Or I can pick every cut of meat and plan our recipes around that meat. This service is completely flexible!
- All ButcherBox members can select the frequency of shipment. Once you’re a member, you can choose to receive the box every 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks.
- ButcherBox securely packages and ships straight to your doorstep and shipping is always free!
- Upon arrival, the meat is always frozen or cold to the touch and safe to eat (below 40° F).
ButcherBox comes with two standard box options: Custom + Curated allowing you to pick what works best for you and your families. By signing up for ButcherBox you can expect no hidden fees, penalties, or delays. Meaning you can pause, cancel, or adjust your ship date at anytime with no penalties.
