My family loves lasagna in all of its cheesy, saucy forms. We’ve adopted Kelli’s recipe for the most delicious layered lasagna as the gold standard, but there are weeks when we ladle lasagna soup from the slow cooker, dig into a sheet pan lasagna, or serve a rolled-up version. After eating so many variations on the theme, I realized that a skillet might be the best (and most fun) way to serve lasagna, and that the noodles might not actually be essential.
Serving lasagna as a skillet dip puts the focus on the meaty sauce and creamy, gooey cheese. Savory ground beef simmered with jarred marinara sauce is finished with dollops of creamy ricotta and shredded Italian cheeses, and baked until bubbly. Instead of laboring over layers of noodles, serve the dip family-style with toasted bread or crackers. Whether you’re looking for a hearty game-day dip or a faster way to the dinner table, this lasagna dip is the MVP.
