AMAZING VENISON MEATLOAF
This is my own original recipe (I'm a hunter's wife) and an all-time family favorite! A super moist and flavorful meatloaf with a 'kick' using venison and pork sausage. It would also probably be good as a leftover, but none of it has ever made it to the fridge so I don't know. This is exceptional when the meatloaf is formed into patties and grilled outside instead of baked in the oven.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Stretch out the bacon with the back of a knife, then trim off and finely chop any stray bits. Line a 900g loaf tin with the bacon, leaving an overhang, and set aside. Tip the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and scrunch well with your hands.
- Pack the mix into the tin, pat down well and wrap over the bacon. Put the tin on a tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hr 15 mins or until firm and cooked through. Leave to rest for at least 15 mins, then serve sliced - or leave to cool completely and serve sliced cold for a buffet with salad, or stuffed into a roll. Either way, Cumberland sauce is a must (see tip, below).

Tips:
- Choose the right venison: Use venison from a young deer, as the meat will be more tender. If you are using frozen venison, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Grind the venison coarsely: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
- Use a variety of apples: This will add different flavors and textures to the meatloaf. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well during cooking.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
- Baste the meatloaf with the glaze during cooking: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Apple venison meatloaf is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of venison, apples, and spices creates a flavorful and moist meatloaf that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
