Sooo good! I hadn't tried baked wontons before-this worked so well, although I did brush the cooking spray around to make sure it coated everything. The recipe looks really spicy, but it's just perfect. I used ground venison, so draining wasn't necessary, and regular longhorn colby cheese. I loved this! Thanks so much!
