Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground venison, dry stuffing mix, water, finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce, lightly beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Shape the venison mixture into a loaf and place it in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce evenly over the top of the loaf. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. (60 minutes)

05

Step

Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the venison mixture.
If you prefer a sweeter glaze, substitute the barbecue sauce with a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, and a dash of apple cider vinegar.
To keep the meatloaf moist, place a pan of water on the lower rack of the oven while baking.

    The meatloaf was a bit dry for my taste. Next time, I'll add a little more water or beef broth to the mixture.
