The Fall season is off to a great start for many Kryptek fans. We've seen your successes - congratulations! Now, what to do with all that meat. If you're looking for a great new recipe to cook your elk with, here's a delicious option from Kryptek Ladies Legion member Lindsay Christensen. 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of elk sausage
• 1 quart of marina sauce
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 chopped yellow onion
• 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 8-12 ounces of grated mozzarella cheese
• Olive oil

Instructions:

Cook the Meat

1. Brown the sausage in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Once the sausage starts to brown, add in the onions and mushrooms.

1. When the onions begin to soften, add in the marinara sauce and simmer.
2. Pre-heat the grill to medium heat.

1. Cut the zucchini into ¾-1 inch thick disks.
2. Coat the zucchini in olive oil to prevent grill stickage.
3. Place the zucchini disks on the grill. Flip when grill marks appear.
4. Remove the zucchini from the grill and transfer to a cookie sheet or tinfoil once the centers start to soften.

1. Spoon the sausage marina mixture onto the zucchini disks and top them with grated mozzarella.
2. Place the loaded disks back on the grill and cook until the cheese is melted.

Enjoy!

1. Remove the disks from the grill and serve with your favorite side dishes.
