No one in our household liked meatloaf until I threw this together one day. Now even my picky 8-year-old will eat it! It is really moist which is why everyone likes it but has a bit of crust on outside.

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

This mince loaf with sausage, bacon and game meat is as good cold as it is hot. Serve it with our fruity Cumberland sauce

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course, Starter

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 thin rashers streaky bacon
1kg minced venison
1 small onion , finely chopped
2 good-quality pork sausages , meat squeezed from the skins
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs to decorate
50g fresh breadcrumb
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
splash of Worcestershire sauce
1 egg

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:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your meatloaf will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Meat: Overmixing the meat can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the meat just until it is combined.
  • Use a Loaf Pan: A loaf pan is the best way to bake meatloaf because it helps to keep the meatloaf moist and prevents it from falling apart.
  • Bake the Meatloaf at a Low Temperature: Baking the meatloaf at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) helps to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the Meatloaf Rest: After you bake the meatloaf, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Apple venison meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of venison, apples, and spices creates a flavorful and moist meatloaf that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
