VENISON MEATLOAF



Venison Meatloaf image

Finally, a meatloaf recipe that my whole family enjoys. Mostly venison, but also with some pork sausage to add some fat to avoid a dry meatloaf (venison is such a lean meat). This is a combination of a couple of meatloaf recipes that I played around with.

Categories     Deer

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground venison
1/2 lb spicy pork sausage
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon seasoned pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Saute the onion in a little butter over medium-low heat. When onion just starts to look done, add the chopped garlic and saute just a few minutes longer (this brings out the flavor of the onion and the garlic instead of adding them raw).
  • Mix together all the ingredients except tomato sauce, basil, and 1/4 cup ketchup.
  • Put into loaf pan and cook at 375 for 50 minutes. Mix together tomato sauce and 1/4 cup ketchup and pour over top of meatloaf, then sprinkle basil over that.
  • Cook an additional 10 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes after pulling out of oven.
  • Note: feel free to add some steak seasoning in place of or in addition to the seasoned pepper for stronger flavor.

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course, Starter

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1kg minced venison

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).
