One of my latest Pinterest Success stories. Saw these cuties and knew I had to make them for my fam this week. Lasagna Cups! Super easy, super cute, and super for those of us trying to control our portion sizes. I really need to practice my food photography I know, but here's the recipe if your interested. Sauce:
1 lb ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
spaghetti seasoning
1/2 onion, diced
garlic powder to taste

Brown the beef, adding the onion in at the same time. Then add everything else, and simmer. This is great to start in the morning, and let it simmer throughout the day. The flavors get better as it sits.

Cheese Filling

2 cups Italian blend cheese
1 1/2 cup cottage or ricotta cheese (I happened to have cottage cheese, so that's what I used)
8 oz cream cheese

Soften cream cheese and whip it till its smooth. Then had cottage cheese and Italian blend and mix till combined.

Line large cupcake tins will parchment paper... roll cooked lasagna sheets into the cupcakes to line the inside, and cut a smaller piece to put in the bottom. Spoon some sauce into the cup, followed by a spoonful of the cheese mixture. Then another piece of lasagna on top, followed by a small spoonful of sauce, topped with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Delicious!!!!
