Italian Bison Meatloaf Recipes

ITALIAN INSPIRED BISON MEATLOAF RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Crumble the ground meat together in a large mixing bowl. Set aside. In another small bowl, combine the beaten eggs, garlic, salt, basil, oregano, parsley/cilantro, mustard and chili flakes and blend. Blend this mixture into the meat then add the bread crumbs and blend well. Form into a meatloaf. Drizzle half of the olive oil in a skillet or baking dish and place the meatloaf in the pan. I created an oval shape about 3-4" deep in the center-most part. Combine the ketchup, Worcestershire, salt, hot sauce, cumin and remaining olive oil in a small bowl and blend. Pour this on top of the meatloaf and spread to cover the top. Drizzle (zigzag) with some more ketchup. Bake in a preheated 375 oven for about 60-65 minutes. Remove and let it rest about 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
