This is a really tastey way to do meatloaf. The venison brings some extra complexities to your favorite classic dish. If venison is unavailable, this is still a great recipe for a regular meatloaf. Be sure to choose lean beef if you're going to use that. Additionally some people like to add crushed saltine cracker to give the loaf more hold. I don't like it and don't add it to this recipe. Having said that the loaf stays together pretty well on its own, but feel free to add 1/3 cup crushed crackers if desired.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground venison
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped (green, orange or yellow bell is a perfect substitution)
1/4 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon hot sauce (i prefer frank's red hot, personally)
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl thoroughly combine all ingredients. Pat meat mixture into loaf pan.
3. Bake for 30 minutes. Drain any fat/grease that has accumulated.
4. In a small bowl combine all sauce ingredients. Drizzle sauce on top of meatloaf.
5. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Drain any more fat/grease that has accumulated and serve.
