Meatloaf is one of those meals that people have HUGE bias about. Me, I like pretty much all of them. With cheese, without, with ketchup or BBQ sause, onions or bell pepper. Well, I made this simple little recipe and it came out GREAT!

1 pound ground sirloin
1 pound ground venison
1 packet of Lipton beef and onion soup mix
1/3 cup of ketchup
2 eggs
2 cups of bread crumbs
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
2/3 cup of water
3 tablespoons fajita seasoning

Combine all and throw it in a greased or non stick meatloaf pan. 350 degrees for one hour.

Now, my wife can smell venison from 10 miles away. The very sight or smell of it and she runs like hell. She ate her entire plate. So, if you have any venison haters, just sneak it in there when mixing. The color goes away quick with the addition of bread crumbs. ALSO, the venison makes this meatloaf way less greasy.

Enjoy!

looks good. i love meatloaf.

looks good, my wife is making venison meatloaf this week.

i can honestly say that i've never had or even thought of putting venison in meatloaf. God, does that look good! deer season can't get here soon enough, i'm def. trying this recipe out!

Nothing better than a cold meatloaf and mashed potato sandwich for a late night snack!

U ever tried putting a little diced jap in there to spice it up a bit???? or maybe a lil cheese on top when almost done????

sounds good !!!

Try canned onion rings instead of bread crumbs or crackers

Also I sometimes add black olives or mushrooms, but not everybody likes them...

I like too make a meat loaf too big.. so i can have some left overs for sandwiches.. You can make a might thick meatloaf sandwich..

Sounds delicious! But I like venison.

I use salsa instead of catchup.

Cant beat it! Wow this post was over 10 yrs ago

Still a good one!

Made it again last night. Here are my updated ingredients. Love Jimmy Dean crumbles in there.

My wife uses Emeril Lagasse recipe and it is pretty darn good

You can use whatever recipe you like best, but once you smoke one using that fave, you'll never want one any other way. Smoked at 225* until internal temp of 165 is stupid good.

Meatloaf is a lot like sex to me. The worst I ever had was wonderful.

Regardless the recipe (I will try this one) I always use 1/2 venison and 1/2 wagyu ground.

Will give that a shot tomorrow!

My garden is loaded with cilantro. Thanks for the heads up.
