Venison and Elk Lasagna

Ingredients

sauce of your choosing
2 different meats: I chose elk Italian sausage and venison
Mozz., ricotta,Parm and blended cheeses (I used the CostCo kind)
1 egg
basil
salt/pepper

Preparation

1
Bring a BIG pot of SALTED water to a boil.
2
In another dish, brown and drain(if needed) your two kinds of meat. My elk It. sausage was in it's casings, so I removed them and broke up the meat before browning.
3
Put your sauce, tomatoes, olives and spices together in one pot. Season as you see fit. I wanted to put red pepper flakes in there too, but there is a little mouth to feed at the table.
4
Water boiling, add noodles one at a time. Make sure they are not laying on top of one another. They don't cook evenly and get icky.
5
In a small bowl, mix together the whole container of ricotta and the one egg.

Assembly Line
7
Add a spoonful of sauce to the bottom of your dish. That way your noodles don't stick to the bottom. Lay down 3-4 noodles to cover the bottom of the dish.
8
Add a spoonful per noodle of your ricotta mixture and spread over your noodles.
9
Sprinkle meat over ricotta.
10
Spoon about 2 spoonfuls of sauce over the meat.
11
Cover with Mozz., blended, and Parm cheese.
12
Repeat
13
If it looks like you're not going to have enough stuff to repeat every layer, do a layer of just cheeses, and then continue with the regular layers after.~~
14
On the VERY TOP LAYER, cover with cheese and then dab with butter. That will make it golden brown and just plain good when you bake it.
