– Gary, Rock Creek, Ohio

Oh my, Gary got creative in the kitchen and made a fabulous meatloaf that disappeared one Saturday afternoon when friends stopped by to tell stories. That happens quite a bit at Gary’s.

Fabulous meatloaf.

Fabulous meatloaf.

Magnificent Meatloaf

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground venison if you can't get venison use ground chuck or turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or oatmeal
  • 2 tbsp. Awesome Antler Rub™
  • 1/2 cup ketchup and extra to drizzle on top
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese and a little for topping
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix well in large bowl: ground meat, breadcrumbs or oatmeal, Awesome Antler Rub, ketchup, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs.
  • Transfer into a large loaf pan and press well to compact the meat mixture.
  • Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes depending on which meat you use. If the top of the meatloaf is looking browned and crusty, then its time to drizzle ketchup on top
  • Bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Slice and serve with your favorite sides. Our roasted potato recipe goes really well with this dish. Use another rub for that such as Wow-A Chihuahua™ or Red Dog Rub™.
