Lasagna Dip takes everything you love about the classic layered comfort food and turns it into a cheesy, scoopable appetizer. It’s rich, savory, and downright indulgent. You get all the meaty, saucy, creamy goodness of lasagna without the commitment of assembling a whole casserole.
Helpful Tips
- Use a mix of mozzarella and ricotta for that signature lasagna flavor and texture—creaminess meets stretchy cheese pulls.
- Brown the meat well and don’t skip the garlic; it builds a deeper, more robust flavor in the sauce.
- Serve with toasted baguette slices, garlic bread, or sturdy crackers that can handle a hearty scoop without falling apart.
