Lasagna Dip
Lasagna Dip is the perfect hot dip to bring to a party. Full of all the great things you love in a traditional lasagna but without the pasta (and all the work)!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground beef (I used beef with a lower fat content so there would be less grease)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 1 8 ounce container ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Baguette, sliced
- Olive oil cooking spray
- Fresh parsley, chopped (garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a non-stick saute pan, brown ground beef until cooked using a wooden spoon to break up the beef.
- Once cooked, drain the excess grease and return the beef to the pan.
- Season the beef with Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine and set aside off the heat to cool slightly.
- While the beef cools, add ricotta cheese, Romano or Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper to a large bowl and stir until well combined.
- In a 1 quart baking dish, spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Spread the cooled beef evenly over the top of the ricotta layer.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the beef layer.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip.
- Bake for 25 minutes (you can broil for the last minute or two if you want to brown the cheese slightly).
- While it bakes, place the sliced baguette onto a sheet pan and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Place them into the oven on the bottom rack for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with sliced baguette.
