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.

VENISON MEATLOAF
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.

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.
VENISON LOAF (MEATLOAF)
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.

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).
