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.
