We used to combine some ground venison with some ground beef. Individually, both are decent, but together, something magical happens.

 

[jimLE]

you got that right..i mixed 2lb's beef and 1lb of venison last time i made meatloaf.needless to say that was the best i made yet..

 

[Gazrok]

In general, combining gamey meats with similar, less gamey meats, tends to work really well, the gamey meat enhances the flavor of the less gamey, while the latter eliminates the gamey taste. (and yeah, usually a two to one ratio, like you mentioned).

I use 1/2 & 1/2 beef/venison every time

 

[jimLE]

yeah that works great to..i also go with 2 LB's venison and 1 LB beef some times

Have you tried a mix with wild pork? It's open season all year round here in the Bayou State for wild hog and I plan on getting my share. Any body done it?

 

[jimLE]

The only thing I see missing in that meatloaf is cheese. I always put cubed cheese in mine. And sometimes carrots.

 

[jimLE]

i know some folks put cheese in theirs..but carrots?

It actually taste pretty good. My mom use to make hers that way, so I tried it in mine and the kids love it. I shred the carrots, and add them.

 

[jimLE]

how much carrots you add to that much meatloaf?

 

[Uncle Albert]

Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, fresh ground pepper and Italian Seasoning

As long as there's lots of gravy and mashed potatoes to go along with it I'm happy!

 

[jimLE]

meatloaf aint meatloaf untill you have mashed potato's and green beans to go with it..

I thought the gravy and taters were a given with meatloaf. . . they go hand n hand. I have one of those recipes that I use all the time and if I try a variation, my hunny can tell, but I have to say that Jim's recipe looks interesting. . .just need to scale back this recipe since it is only hunny and I at home now these days.

we mainly make meatloaf sandwich's with whats left of meatloaf.pretty nice
