Provided by AllysKitchen

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 pound ground bison
1 pound ground pork
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/3 cup fresh parsley and cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 cup ketchup + more for drizzle when baking
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce (your choice)
1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (divided)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Crumble the ground meat together in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. In another small bowl, combine the beaten eggs, garlic, salt, basil, oregano, parsley/cilantro, mustard and chili flakes and blend. Blend this mixture into the meat then add the bread crumbs and blend well. Form into a meatloaf. Drizzle half of the olive oil in a skillet or baking dish and place the meatloaf in the pan. I created an oval shape about 3-4" deep in the center-most part. Combine the ketchup, Worcestershire, salt, hot sauce, cumin and remaining olive oil in a small bowl and blend. Pour this on top of the meatloaf and spread to cover the top. Drizzle (zigzag) with some more ketchup. Bake in a preheated 375 oven for about 60-65 minutes. Remove and let it rest about 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:

Use a combination of ground bison and ground beef: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
Add some vegetables to the meatloaf mixture: This will help to add flavor and texture, and it will also help to keep the meatloaf from drying out.
Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce will help to add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf, and it will also help to keep it from drying out.
Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it: This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.
