Big D's Mushroom and Cheese-Stuffed Venison Loaf image

A moist and flavorful comfort food. Very easy to make. A dish that would please anyone. My family never liked venison until now. I make my own venison burger (mixed with pork and smoked bacon) to die for. Makes the best meatloaf sandwiches or subs (trust me) for work or hunting (awesome cold). Works excellent with beef too. Your friends and family will beg for more. Good thing I like to hunt (the rest of my side of family doesn't).

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground venison
1 onion, chopped
1 (6 ounce) box dry instant stuffing mix
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
¼ cup spicy tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (such as V8®)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
10 ounces fresh morel mushrooms
8 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon
½ cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix ground venison, onion, stuffing mix, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, vegetable juice cocktail, and yellow mustard in a large bowl with your hands until thoroughly combined.
  • Place half the venison mixture into a 9x11-inch casserole dish; pat the meat mixture into an even layer.
  • Spread morel mushrooms over meat; top with Cheddar cheese slices.
  • Spread remaining half of venison mixture over cheese slices; pat down to form an even layer and press the edges together to seal in the mushrooms and cheese.
  • Arrange bacon slices over the meatloaf; spread barbeque sauce evenly over the loaf. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the meatloaf is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Drain excess grease and allow loaf to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

This venison loaf was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my venison loaf didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The meat was tough and the stuffing was bland.

This venison loaf was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add some more moisture next time.
