Time 33m

Yield 20 sliders/cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)
1 medium onion (diced)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 1/2 cups favorite pasta sauce (I prefer Mushroom Prego)
1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (Makes 20)
2 cups mozzarella cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef in a pan along with onions and garlic until meat is crumbly, there's no more pink, and onions are soft.
  • Add red sauce to pan.
  • In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese and an egg thoroughly.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350.
  • Separate biscuits from each other.
  • In a cupcake pan (I use a silicon pan, so I don't need to grease it, but if not using silicon, I suggest Pam) place a raw biscuit in each cupcake hole.
  • With fingers, press biscuit into and partially along the sides of each hole, creating a "crust" effect.
  • Spoon some meat mixture into each cupcake hole, on top of the biscuit.
  • Spoon some ricotta on top of the meat, and spread evenly across the top.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each cupcake hole.
  • Place in oven for 18-20 min, keeping a close eye on the cheese, making sure it doesn't burn.
  • Remove from oven, and let cool for 3-5 minute
  • With a knife, gingerly pry each lasagna slider from its cupcake hole, and place on plate.
  • Serve sooner than later :)
  • And Enjoy!
