Bacon-Wrapped Savory Venison Meatloaf
Ingredients List
-
1 pound ground venison
-
½ yellow onion, chopped
-
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
-
1 large egg
-
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, finely crushed
-
4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
-
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
-
½ teaspoon dried sage
-
½ teaspoon steak seasoning
-
3 slices bacon
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large bowl, combine venison, onion, 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce, egg, crushed crackers, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, sage, and steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the ingredients are well incorporated. Transfer the mixture into a 3x7-inch loaf pan and cover with bacon slices.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and the bacon is crispy. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
-
While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the sauce by combining the remaining 3/4 cup of barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened.
-
Once the meatloaf is done, pour the prepared sauce over the top and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before serving.
