Eye-talian Lasagna

Here's something I've been thinking about trying for some time now but haven't had the opportunity.  I present barbecue lasagna, made up of a blend of tomato sauce and barbecue sauce, smoked cheese, pulled pork and dry rub.  This is one experiment I'll definitely be trying again!

SmokeInDaEye Pulled Pork Lasagna


Ingredients

1 pound pulled pork

2 cups grated smoked gouda

2 cups grated mozzarella

1 32 oz can plum tomatoes, crushed

1 bottle barbecue sauce (for this one I used Gates)

1 box lasagna noodles

2 cup ricotta

Dry rub


Mix tomato sauce and barbecue sauce, simmer over medium-low heat for approximately 45 minutes.  Mix gouda and mozzarella cheeses and set aside.  Prepare lasagna noodles according to directions.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


In an oven proof baking dish, drizzle sauce to evenly coat the bottom.  Add one layer of noodles, top with 1/3 of the pork, a 1/4 of cheese mixture, dollops of ricotta (approximately 2/3 cup), and sauce.  Repeat with two more layers.  Top final layer of noodles with an even coating of sauce, remainder of cheese and dry rub.


Cover lasagna with foil and place in the oven for approximately 30 minutes.  Remove foil and bake and additional 10 minutes to brown the top.  Rest, slice and enjoy!

    One thing that is great about competition BBQ is the leftovers! Recently, we were looking for a creative way to use up the mountain of pulled pork we brought home from our last contest and while the thought of making another ultra delicious pulled pork lasagna (you can find the recipe here) was enticing, we needed to make something a bit quicker...a barbecue pizza.

    This looks surprisingly delicious (surprising because I wouldn't have thought to combine pulled pork and lasagna noodles). Into which competition are you entering this one?

    I was sittin and watchin my kids eat some lasagne i just made last night while i was eating a corned beef with colby sandwich dipped in Q-sauce thinkin' ya know...i think i could make a damn good BBQ lasagne. I Googled and your recipe was the first one i finally came across that looked like something i'd do. Gouda, mozz, and ricotta is definitely in my line of thinkin'. One thing i'm thinkin is make a thin bechamel to melt the cheeses (gouda and ricotta) into so when you go to put it all together you can just drizzle heavily and then just throw the mozz in on each layer. The tomato/Q sauce is a nice touch to keep it from drying out. I'm assuming you smoke and pull your own pork like me (however THAT sounds) Yep, i'm down with it...we could cook together.
