Lasagna Dip is pure cheesy, comforting goodness. This recipe takes everything good about lasagna and turns it into an easy dip recipe.
My favorite way to eat lasagna is to use a garlic knot or some garlic bread to scoop up all of the sauce. The combination of the bread, the sauce, and the cheese are all so perfect together.
This Lasagna Dip gets rid of the noodles and leaves you with all of that cheesy, saucy goodness. It's a warm, comforting appetizer that's perfect any time (like when you're watching a certain big game). So, if you like lasagna, you'll love this dip!
