Cheesy Sausage Lasagna Dip Recipe

Lasagna lovers will go crazy for this fabulous Cheesy Sausage Lasagna Dip Recipe — a perfect appetizer for holiday parties.

Hot and Bubbly Sausage Lasagna Dip

This recipe was created for my client Kraft, but all opinions are my own.

If there was an official food of our family, it would be lasagna. It’s the go-to dish for many family gatherings and celebrations. It’s requested, devoured and always remembered. And each of us makes it a little differently. My mom’s is filled with mushrooms, spinach and ground beef. But me? I like my lasagna extra cheesy and dotted with flavorful Italian sausage.

It adds a little something extra, don’t you think?

So this dip recipe? It’s going to be a family favorite. I can just feel it. In fact, when my husband and children got a taste of it, they totally devoured it — a good sign, for sure.

Making Sausage Lasagna Dip

Cheesy Sausage Lasagna Dip is like lasagna without all the noodles. Layers of seasoned ricotta cheese, sausage, sauce and mozzarella cheese are cooked together to create a hot, bubbly, delicious delicious dip (actually, it’s more spread than dip) that is delicious spooned onto warm slices of ciabatta bread, crackers, or similar. It takes just minutes to throw together and then just needs to warm up before serving — easy peasy.

And cheesy.

What a lovely alternative to the typical spinach dip that shows up at most parties.
