Mini Lasagna Cups are the perfect appetizer addition to your parties, or even just a new easy way to put together lasagna for dinner! So delicious, and so much fun!
I know how much you guys have loved my lasagna recipes. You have raved over my Lasagna Stuffed Chicken and every day I’m getting new reviews of my Most Amazing Lasagna with people swearing they will never use another recipe again. Seeing as how much ya’ll have loved my lasagna recipes, I thought this recipe would fit right in.
These mini lasagna cups are way too much fun. They even have layers of deliciousness. They are pretty easy to put together too and require just a handful of ingredients. A lot easier to make and a lot more simple than a whole lasagna, but still the same great flavor. In fact, my son couldn’t get enough of these and said they were better than my regular lasagna.
I’ve chosen to make my lasagna cups using lasagna pasta sheets. If you need a fast, more simple option, you can always use wonton wrappers. Just slide one in the bottom and layer on meat sauce, cheese, and more meat sauce. You won’t get the same clean layers, but it would save you a few minutes. I still recommend spending the extra time to make the layers.
This recipe calls for ground Italian sausage. If you don’t eat pork, or need to stay away from sausage for other reasons, you can always use ground beef in the same amount. I recommend using a lean ground beef like 93/7 to cut down on the grease.
PRO TIP: Freshly shredded cheese melts a lot better than the pre-shredded bagged stuff you get in the grocery store. Why? Chemicals are added in with the pre-shredded cheese to keep it from clumping and sticking together as well as to prevent mold. These chemicals interfere with melting. For best results, always use freshly shredded or grated cheese in recipes, particularly ones that involve melting.
These are going to be my go-to for every party I have. Too bad it doesn’t let me post a picture
Love the recipe 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼🎉🙏🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for explaining and demostration!
You rock!
I love this. Will definitely make it. I’ve also made lasagne roll ups with this recipe. You cut strips in half put mixture in center, roll up curly side up in baking pan, cover with sauce and bake
Was very good for two people for dinner,but didn’t know how to get it out of the pan without spoiling the appearance
This recipe is so good. And if you don’t have a cookie cutter the size of the muffin cups… the small tomato paste can is the perfect size!
I used a wine glass
Yummy, but takes just as much time as regular lasagna once you factor in all of the cutting of pasta circles and assembly. The cut pasta circles dry out very quickly. I recommend holding them in a hot water bath with a bit of oil to keep them from sticking). The sides also get very sticky. Best to stick with her full lasagna recipe
Looks delicious l can’t wait to make it.
