This Venison Lasagna Soup is one of the best soups I have ever made. It is just absolutely fantastic!

This recipe serves about 8 people and my husband and I ate the whole thing. A lot of the flavor in this recipe comes from my Italian Sausage recipe. I cannot stress enough how good that recipe is.

You can easily make this recipe in a stockpot for quicker results. However, I like my sausage to flavor up the sauce-y soup mixture for several hours. I think it creates a better flavor, but if you are in a pinch, where it says add everything to a crockpot, add it to a stockpot and bring it to a boil. Then add your spinach and noodles. Cook until the spinach is wilted and your noodles are soft. Voila!

This recipe is just good food. It will warm you up and taste good too. 

And the cheese!! THE CHEESE IS AMAZING! Load your bowl up! Don’t be shy!!

I hope your family enjoys this Venison Lasagna Soup as much as mine!

I’m still working through my Venison Italian Sausage, and I thought what would be better with the cold weather than some Venison Lasagna??

I love lasagna! It’s a hearty carb filled wonder of a meal. You can adventure out with it (like my Gator Lasagna 🤤) or keep it simple like this. I’m also a big fan of making Italian food at home because it’s so much cheaper than at a restaurant. Why spend like $20 at an Italian restaurant for a tasty slice of lasagna when I can make a whole pan for less than that? Italian food can be a little time consuming, but this recipe isn’t too labor intensive. You make your meat sauce, ricotta mixture, and then layer it in your big pan and throw it in the oven. Not too hard!

Something to keep in mind is I’ve seen a couple of you guys make my Italian recipes so far without the Italian sausage. You can make these recipes without the Italian sausage, but honestly, they’ll be missing out on a lot of flavor. You don’t need a super fancy grinder to make it, but a grinder will make your life so much easier in wild game cooking.    

This is another family pleaser. I have met I think one person in my life who doesn’t like Lasagna so I’m going to go out on a limb and say most people do lol. Again, let me know in the comments how it goes and if you’d like to see any different recipes in the future. ENJOY!

This White Gator Lasagna should be a staple in everyone’s home.

Gator tastes like chicken, so when I was trying to think of unique recipes I wanted to make with it, my mind immediately went to white chicken lasagna. I love white chicken lasagna. I even like white veggie lasagna. Being well versed in the white lasagna department, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this recipe.

Honestly, I love all of my recipes, but this one is top tier. It is amazing. I truly believe I outdid myself here. I would make this every week if I had an unlimited supply of gator. This recipe is truly what dreams are made of. It lives rent free in my brain. BECAUSE WOW. I am not trying to play it up, but this recipe really is that good. My swamp friends in Louisiana should add this to their menus if they have a restaurant.

I hope you give this recipe a try. It is SOOO worth it. You will NOT regret it. Enjoy!
