AMAZING VENISON MEATLOAF



Amazing Venison Meatloaf image

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.

VENISON MEATLOAF



Venison Meatloaf image

Finally, a meatloaf recipe that my whole family enjoys. Mostly venison, but also with some pork sausage to add some fat to avoid a dry meatloaf (venison is such a lean meat). This is a combination of a couple of meatloaf recipes that I played around with.

Provided by jaynine

Categories     Deer

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground venison
1/2 lb spicy pork sausage
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon seasoned pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Saute the onion in a little butter over medium-low heat. When onion just starts to look done, add the chopped garlic and saute just a few minutes longer (this brings out the flavor of the onion and the garlic instead of adding them raw).
  • Mix together all the ingredients except tomato sauce, basil, and 1/4 cup ketchup.
  • Put into loaf pan and cook at 375 for 50 minutes. Mix together tomato sauce and 1/4 cup ketchup and pour over top of meatloaf, then sprinkle basil over that.
  • Cook an additional 10 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes after pulling out of oven.
  • Note: feel free to add some steak seasoning in place of or in addition to the seasoned pepper for stronger flavor.

CHRIS'S VENISON MEATLOAF



Chris's Venison Meatloaf image

Found this while searching for ground venison recipes. Made it last night with lots of success. My husband and I loved it...'BETTER than ground beef' he says. The original introduction says..."This is my husband's recipe for venison meatloaf. He combined several recipes to come up with the right combination of ingredients. It tastes like regular meatloaf."

Provided by ltlmishu

Categories     Deer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs ground venison
1 cup saltine crackers, crushed
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1/4 cup catsup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all ingredients, shape into a loaf.
  • Bake for one hour.

Tips:

  • Use ground venison: This recipe calls for ground venison, which can be found at most grocery stores or butcher shops. If you don't have ground venison, you can grind your own using a meat grinder.
  • Add moisture to the meatloaf: Venison can be a lean meat, so it's important to add moisture to the meatloaf to keep it from drying out. This recipe uses eggs, milk, and bread crumbs to add moisture and help bind the meatloaf together.
  • Season the meatloaf well: Venison has a mild flavor, so it's important to season the meatloaf well. This recipe uses a combination of garlic, onion, salt, and pepper to season the meatloaf.
  • Use a loaf pan: This recipe uses a loaf pan to cook the meatloaf. A loaf pan helps to keep the meatloaf moist and evenly cooked.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Venison is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook the meatloaf at a low temperature to prevent it from drying out. This recipe cooks the meatloaf at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Conclusion:

This venison meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatloaf is moist and flavorful, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
