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.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup ketchup or chili sauce
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cider or white vinegar
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black paper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/2 up milk, buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt
2 pounds meat-loaf mix (2 parts ground chuck, 1 part ground veal, 1 part ground pork)
2/3 cups crushed saltine crackers (about 16) or quick oatmeal or 1 1/3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup minced parsley
6 ounces thin-sliced bacon

Steps:

  • For the glaze: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  • For the meatloaf: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute until softened, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool.
  • Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worchestershire, pepper sauce, and milk or yogurt. Add egg mixture to meat in a large bowl, along with crackers, oatmeal or bread crumbs, parsley and cook onions and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture does stick, add additional milk, a couple tablespoons at a time, and continue stirring until mixture stops sticking.)
  • Turn meat mixture onto a work surface. With wet hands, pat mixture into a loaf approximately 9 by 5 inches.
  • Cover a wire rack with foil; prick foil in several places with a fork. Place a rack on a shallow roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.
  • Set formed loaf on rack. Brush loaf with all of glaze, then arrange bacon slices, crosswise, over loaf, overlapping them slightly and tucking them under to prevent curling.
  • Bake loaf until bacon is crisp and loaf registers 160 degrees, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve

VENISON MEATLOAF

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).

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 1 inch thick slices, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
37 saltine crackers, crushed
1 lb bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl mix ground beef, eggs, diced onions, ketchup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mixing with your hands is best. Mix it real well.
  • Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeve.
  • Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well.
  • Form into a loaf shape and set to the side.
  • Take the bacon and divide it into even amount.
  • Take 1 half of the bacon and lay side by side long ways.
  • Fold every other bacon strip in half.
  • Lay 1 of the other half of the reserved bacon strips across.
  • Unfold the half folded bacon strip.
  • Fold the other every other bacon strips that were not folded in the previous step.
  • Lay a slice of bacon across and then unfold.
  • Repeat until you run out of room.
  • Start on the other half of the bacon strip until you have made a weave.
  • Pace the loaf shaped beef mixture into the center on your bacon weave.
  • Wap the weave around the beef loaf shaped mixture.
  • Flip the bacon wrapped meat loaf upside down,making the ends of the bacon tuck under the loaf.
  • Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet.
  • It takes about an hour to cook.
  • To make sure it is cooked all the way through, I sometimes use a meat thermometer but that isn't really needed. Sometimes I leave it in for 15 more minutes if I am worried it isn't cooked all the way.
