Lasagna Cups
I love these single Lasagna Cups that are perfect for getting all that delicious Italian flavor in an appetizer. Of course, all that cheese, meat sauce and pasta can be perfect for brunch, buffets and even dinner. Easy to throw together and always a favorite with guests and family alike.

They really are delicious and great for lunches with the girls, hors d'oeuvres for parties and for getting finicky kids to eat. You can also make little taco cups with either wonton or egg roll wrappers or small corn tortillas.
