Lasagna Dip. This appetizer recipe is seriously simple to make and absolutely perfect for parties, game day or just a night in with friends.

Welcome to Day #5 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan , we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes.

This recipe is amazing. It's so good I could barely stop eating it long enough to take photos. It's *THAT* good. I used my friend Kate of Diethood's Lasagna Dip recipe for inspiration. The girl knows her stuff, so I knew she would help guide me in the right direction. I decided to add herbs to the cream cheese portion, it is not only pretty to look at it but it rocked the taste buds. Which always makes me happy. Rocking your taste buds is a good thing to do, daily if possible.

Ingredients

For the Herbed Cream Cheese Layer:

1 package 8 oz of cream cheese, softened
¼ teaspoon of basil
¼ teaspoon oregano

For the Saucey Layer:

2 tablespoon olive oil
½ sweet onion diced
1 shallot diced
2 cloves of garlic chopped finely or minced
½ pound of ground beef
1 cup of spaghetti sauce
½ teaspoon basil
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cheesy Layer:

1 and ½ cups of mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

For the Herbed Cream Cheese Layer:

In a medium sized bowl combine the softened cream cheese, basil and oregano. Stir until combined. Set aside.

For the Saucey Layer:

In a large skillet or frying pan, over medium heat, cook the onions and shallots in olive oil. Cook for about 3 or 4 minutes, till softened.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned and juices run clear.
Add the garlic in the last minute so it doesn't burn. Cook until fragrant, which takes 30 seconds to about a minute.
Add the sauce and spices to the skillet, cook until combined and warm, about 5 or so minutes.

For the Cheesy Layer:

Grate the cheese. Set aside.

Putting it all together:

Spray an 8 inch baking dish, or whatever serving dish you like, with non-stick spray.
Smooth the herbed cream cheese into the bottom of the dish.
Add the sauce mixture over top, smooth out evenly.
Toss the mozzarella cheese on top.
Pop in your preheated oven and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, you want the top bubbling and starting to brown.
Remove carefully from the oven.
Serve with a big old cheesy smile!

What's not to love about this dip. It's ideal for the SuperBowl so long as someone doesn't get carried away and fling that red sauce across the room. I will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing your recipe plus links to everything else.
