Meatloaf is a lovely comforting meal, that can be very economical, venison by itself would be a bit on the dry side, so have added an equal amount of minced pork, and used BBQ sauce to give a little sweetness to the loaf.
Sweat off a finely chopped small onion and clove of garlic, a diced small green pepper in a little light olive oil until soft. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together 500g minced venison, 500g minced pork, 2 eggs, 150g panko breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt and coarse ground black pepper, 2 tbsp Worcester sauce, 4 tbsps BBQ sauce, 2 tsp BBQ seasoning, and add the cooked onion, garlic and pepper. Mix together thoroughly.
In a 2lb loaf tin line with strips of smoked streaky bacon widthways, and spoon in the meatloaf mixture, applying a little pressure on top to firm the loaf.
Cook in a preaheted oven to 200 deg C for 50 to 60 minutes until cooked through, upend the loaf onto a baking tray and remove the loaf tin, and brush with a few tbsps BBQ sauce. Pop back into the oven for 10 minutes to crisp up the bacon.
I served the loaf in thick slices with some buttered new potatoes and purple sprouting broccoli, with a dollop of BBQ sauce on the side, yum.
Cheers
