Lasagna just got a whole lot wilder—moose style!

Moose Sausage Lasagna

When it comes to crafting a lasagna that’s both hearty and uniquely Alaskan, ground moose breakfast sausage is the perfect star ingredient. Its rich, slightly gamey flavor adds depth, while the breakfast sausage seasoning brings a hint of spice that perfectly complements layers of cheesy, saucy goodness.

 

Moose is a lean, protein-packed meat, and when turned into breakfast sausage, it carries a blend of spices like oregano, black pepper, and a touch of fennel—classic flavors that elevate any dish. Using moose in your lasagna not only gives it an Alaskan flair but also creates a satisfying, wholesome meal that’s perfect for feeding a crowd or stocking your freezer with leftovers.
