Easy Game Day Appetizers

We LOVE to watch the Seahawks + We don't have cable = CRISIS.
How does that work, you may ask? Well, we often go to my in-laws to watch the game, and today's game was no different. We were asked to bring an appetizer and here is what I came up with. 
Easy Game Day Appetizers
 These little bites of deliciousness were pretty easy to make, and I just whipped them together about 45 minutes before we had to go.
Appetizer One--Spinach and Artichoke Bites
Ingredients:
10 oz chopped frozen spinach
1 can artichoke hearts
2/3 cup sour cream
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 sheets of fillo dough

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F
Mix the chopped spinach, drained artichoke hearts and the sour cream together until fully combined.
Stir in the cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan cheese and garlic.
Fold 12 fillo sheets into rectangles and gently place into muffin tins while carefully shaping excess dough.
Scoop about 1 - 1 1/2 Tbsp of the mixture into the formed fillo cups
Bake for about 20-30 minutes. Serve warm.
Appetizer Two--Lasagna Bites
Okay, for this one you can get creative! I had made a Lasagna the previous night for dinner. We had A LOT of leftovers, so Daniel and I thought, why not make them into little bite sized appetizers? SCORE! These were so delicious, and I actually liked them better than the Spinach and Artichoke ones. 
Ingredients:
LEFTOVERS!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
Using a few fillo sheet rectangles // place gently into muffin tins (like above)
Scop about 1-1 1/2 Tbsp of the leftovers (lasagna, in my case) into the formed fillo cups
Bake for about 10-15 minutes. (since your leftovers have already been cooked you're basically just cooking the fillo cups and re-heating your leftovers. They turn out delicious!
