Wood-Fired Oven Lasagna

The Yoder Smokers YS640S pellet grill and its wood-fired oven accessory bring next-level versatility to your backyard setup, and this recipe is one of many that will become household faves. The wood-fired oven lasagna blends savory meat sauce infused with ground beef, Italian sausage, mirepoix, San Marzano tomatoes, and garlic. A velvety béchamel sauce is marry butter, flour, whole milk, Parmesan cheese, and Cattleman’s Grill Italiano Seasoning. And in the Yoder Smokers wood-fired oven this lasagna becomes unreal — largely in how the design of the oven creates intense yet balanced heat to meld the layers together, with the top layer of cheese forming the ideal broiled crust. The balanced wood-fired baking process deepens the dish’s flavors, caramelizing the top and allowing the herbs and spices within to infuse throughout the dish. The result is delicious…just the way the soft pasta juxtaposes with the crunch of the baked cheese top, how the savory meat or vegetables play against the creamy, mellow cheeses, and the unifying power of the savory sauce. This is one to try!
