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).

This is a great alternative to meatloaf. The venison is a much leaner meat so lower fat & calories. Has a great taste also.

Steps:
- Add all ingrediente to a big bowl. Mix well together. Shape into a loaf(you can either use a loaf pan or I use a cookie sheet with a sheet of foil on it). Either way will be fine. Since you are using venison there is not much fat juice while cooking. Adding the bbq sauce will make it moist & delicious. Save leftovers for next days lunch, a meatloaf sandwich. Cook 350 degrees for appox. 1 hour. until fully cooked through.

Tips:
- Use high-quality venison: Opt for venison that is fresh, lean, and has a deep red color. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your meatloaf.
- Grind the venison yourself: Grinding the venison yourself allows you to control the texture of the meatloaf and ensure that it is ground to your desired consistency.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create a flavorful meatloaf. Common choices include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf: Venison can be a lean meat, so it's important to add moisture to the meatloaf to prevent it from becoming dry. This can be done by adding eggs, breadcrumbs, or grated vegetables to the mixture.
- Cook the meatloaf thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
Conclusion:
Venison meatloaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich flavor and lean protein content, venison is a healthy and satisfying choice for a main course. By following the tips and using creative ingredients, you can create a venison meatloaf that is sure to impress your family and friends.
