Savory Venison and Pork Meatloaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Venison and Pork Meatloaf.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, give an 8x4-inch loaf pan a light spritz of cooking spray to ensure your meatloaf releases easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, pork sausage, and finely chopped onion, blending them together until they form a harmonious mixture.

4. Step 4

   Next, take your onion sandwich buns and moisten them under running water; once they’re damp, squeeze out any excess moisture and tear them into small pieces.

5. Step 5

   Fold these bun pieces into the meat mixture, ensuring they are well incorporated.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to elevate the flavors: add in the eggs, a splash of brandy, a dollop of bacon grease, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, garlic and herb seasoning, black pepper, and sage.

7. Step 7

   Stir everything together until the mixture is evenly combined, creating a savory blend that will tantalize your taste buds.

8. Step 8

   Transfer this flavorful concoction into your prepared loaf pan, shaping it as needed to fit snugly.

9. Step 9

   Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the meatloaf is beautifully browned and the juices run clear.

10. Step 10

    For the perfect doneness, check with an instant-read thermometer; it should read at least 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center.
