Ingredients for Wild Game Lasagna:

  • 1 pound of ground game meat (in this case, elk)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 6 oz Ricotta Cheese
  • 6 Lasagna noodles

Instructions

  • Brown ground meat with chopped onion and garlic in a skillet over medium seasoning to taste.
  • Add in black pepper, thyme, basil, and Mrs. Dash no-salt seasoning, if desired.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • While the meat is browning, boil lasagna noodles for 4 minutes.
  • In an 8.5-inch square pan, place two lasagna noodles side by side. Using a spatula or spoon, spread 2 oz ricotta cheese onto the noodles. Take 1/3 browned meat and layer on top of the ricotta. Spoon roughly 8 oz pasta sauce evenly onto the meat.
  • Sprinkle 1 oz mozzarella evenly onto the sauce. Repeat two more times
  • Sprinkle dish evenly with fresh grated Parmesan.
  • You can add other vegetables in any of the layers if you want.
  • Place the dish in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes for the cheese to melt, the noodles to finish cooking, and the ingredients to meld. 
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
