Steve Rinella's Venison MeatloafJul 27, 2020RecipesA lot of hunters complain that they use up all their roasts andsteakstoo quickly and then get stuck with a mountain of ground meat. When I hear this, I start singing the praises of wild game meatloaf.Granted, the name of the dish sounds a little folksy and oafish, but you can do some innovative things with meatloaf that makes it seem worthy of a higher­ minded title. This recipe is based on my standardground meat mixture of 90% lean game meat and 10% pork fatback, bound with bread crumbs, oatmeal, egg, and milk and then flavored with an all-star cast of ingredients ranging from pine nuts to provolone.It’s fancy, but not overly so. Perfect for almost any occasion.
Raw wild-game meatloaf in loaf pan with spinach, cheese sticks and pine nuts; bowl of seasoned meat and mustard.
