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.

Ever want to make your favorite lasagna into an appetizer? Well you can! All it takes is a muffin pan and your regular lasagna ingredients. And if you need to do it down and dirty just purchase your favorite spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese and you can put it together in a snap.

Spoon small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of each muffin cup.
