Venison Lasagna
This is a riff off my mother’s lasagna, and of course, everyone’s mother makes the best lasagna, right? This one is supremely meaty, supremely cheesy. There’s something like 3 pounds of meat and 2 pounds of cheese in this bad boy. But it makes 8-10 servings, so don’t worry about it. This lasagna, like most, reheats well, too.
And of course you can use regular ground beef and pork for this if you don’t have access to venison or wild boar. It’ll be just as good.
Serves 8-10.
