Steps:
- Crack the egg, mix it up a bit, and add the elk. Stir together.
- Cut the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic into large chunks. Put them all together in a food processor, and pulse until they are in small, even pieces. (Don't let them turn into mush!).
- Add the cut vegetables to the meat, and the rosemary, pepper, oil, and ketchup. Mix it all up, using your hands is the best way to ensure an even mix.
- Form into a loaf and put into a loaf pan.
- Bake at 350 for approximately an hour.
Tips:
- Choose the right elk meat. Ground elk meat is the best choice for meatloaf, as it is lean and has a mild flavor. You can also use ground venison or beef, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf. Elk meat is lean, so it's important to add moisture to the meatloaf mixture. This can be done by adding eggs, bread crumbs, or grated vegetables.
- Season the meatloaf well. Elk meat has a mild flavor, so it's important to season the meatloaf well. Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as garlic, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature. Elk meat is a lean meat, so it's important to cook it at a low temperature to prevent it from drying out. Cook the meatloaf at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its moisture.
Conclusion:
Elk meatloaf is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its lean protein and mild flavor, elk meatloaf is a great choice for those looking for a healthier alternative to traditional beef meatloaf.
