STEP BY STEP

Whip up these fun lasagnas for an easy family dinner!

As prepared by Half Baked Harvest, February 12, 2016

My family is a huge fan of lasagna. I always make a big pan when we have a large group coming over for dinner, or just when we need a cozy Sunday night meal. To me, lasagna is the ultimate family meal, and just about everyone loves it!

Sometimes I don’t have time to make a traditional lasagna, and to be honest, sometimes I feel the need to switch things up a bit. That’s when these veggie lasagna cupcakes come into play.

Not only are they delicious… and SO super quick, they’re also really versatile. They can even double as a dinner party main course—just serve with a side salad and you’re good to go. They’re also great as fun party appetizer​s.

You can use any of your favorite veggies, but I prefer Green Giant® Steamers® frozen broccoli. To save time, just use store bought Alfredo sauce. If you prefer homemade, here’s a great how-to video.

These veggie lasagna cupcakes are such a quick and easy way to create a deliciously fun twist on lasagna. Your entire table will be impressed, and you’ll have more time to enjoy your day. Win-win!
