Lasagna In A Cup

Lasagna In A Cup!

Would you like something different to take to a tail-gating party?

Football season is definitely here and I am always looking for new ideas of foods to take or make at home.

Try these large lasagna in a cup…they travel well and are very easy to make.

Wrap Italian bread in foil (keeps it warm) and a garden salad and your tail-gating just went up a notch from hamburgers and hot dogs.

Add the ingredients of your choice….you could add an additional meat to the lasagna by browning a bit of ground beef, but I have found the bacon is enough meat for us.

The Captain loves the convenience of eating a parchment wrapped cup and by pre-baking at home…the prep is already done.

Of course, you could place the lasagna cups on a grill at the stadium….just make it easy on yourself.

My dear readers, Do you like to tail-gate?

OR are you content with watching football from home?

Lots of college football on the tube today…and the NFL tomorrow!

Go Chiefs! 😉
