Venison Meat Loaf

[BLACKJACK]

Made this last night for supper, was pretty tasty!!! Meatloaf sandwiches today for lunch and fishing tonight!!!

Venison Meatloaf

2 pounds of burger

Diced onion

1 heaping cup oatmeal, long cooking type

1 1/2 cups tomato juice

2 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons Worchester sauce

Mix all together in a big bowl, put in loaf pan, bake one hour, take out of oven, cover, and let stand 10 minutes. Side dish, throw some potatoes in also. Doesn't get any easier than this!!

Turned out nice and solid, I was worried it would be too dry, lots of times I'll mix one pound beef and one pound venison burger, this time I used 2 pounds venison. Can also top with a mixture of ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar the last 15 minutes but I was outside and never got that done.

thanks for the recipe. this would be good for those who are out of venison with just ground beef. meatloaf is realy versatile also. main meal, sandwiches ect. good luck.

I wonder if you could throw a meatloaf into the smoker? The recipe looks good!

[hockeybc69]

Why not leaky??

Absolutely!

You'd have to bake it first to solidify it, but I would think another half hour in the smoker would give it some good flavor!! Also the 'standing time' on the counter helps it solidify, I've made meatloaf with just beef and it was impossible to get it out in slices if you attack it right away out of the oven.

here is a glaze for meatloaf that i like:

1/2 cup catsup

1 tsp gr cumin

dash of hot pepper sauce

1 tbls honey

combine all ingrediants and heat on low until hot and stirring once in awhile. then brush it on the loaf. i usualy double the recipe and brush the loaf while cooking periodicly. i keep the loaf off the bottom of the pan with a rack so it doesn't sit in the liquid. good luck.

Here's my version. Meatloaf and squash is one of my favorite meals.

1 1/2 pounds venison hamburger

1 cup bread crumbs (I used to crush crackers, then I got smarter and bought the bread crumbs they sell at the grocery store)

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix

a couple splashes of worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp dry mustard (optional)

1/4 tsp ground sage (optional)

Cover with ketchup, barbecue sauce, mushroom gravy, whatever you like. This keeps the meat from drying out. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 350.

It will bake during the smoking process.

I am going to try it!

I would think it would get harder like salami if it was smoked and cooked. sounds interesting.

Ya - I'm going to give it whirl. I like making 2 lbers (1 1/2 ground chuck 1/2 ground pork). Don't hunt so I never have vension. Unless, of course someone wants to donate some.

Not sure about you guys, but I enjoy the "crust" on top of the meatloaf- so we use mini loaf pans for the meatloaf.

Also, they cook in about half the time or less than normal big loaves.
