Gluten Free Venison Meatloaf
Last night we were watching Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and one of the restaurant owners favourite dish was mentioned: meatloaf. I love meatloaf. And I haven’t had it in forever, so I decided to make it the following day – today!
My recipe:
- 1 lbs ground venison
- ½ yellow onion
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup gluten free bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp dried thyme leaves
- ½ cup salsa (medium hot)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- handful of cilantro
This is one of those “mix everything together” recipes. So it is very fast and simple. Add all the dry ingredients in a big bowl and mix them together. For the gluten free bread crumbs I just crumbled a slice of millet bread. Finely chop up the onion and press the garlic cloves. Chop up the cilantro roughly and add the salsa. Crack in the eggs and add the meat. Mix it all together. I prefer adding the meat lastly but since this recipe calls for mixing it all together you can put it in whenever you want.
Grease up a meatloaf pan if you have one, personally I used a bread pan and it worked just fine. I sprinkled some black pepper on top to taste. Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the meatloaf for about 45 minutes. If unsure when it’s done, use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature in the middle of the meat. It should read 165F+
This is a sweet and spicy loaf, skip the salsa if you prefer it less sweet.
Enjoy! :)
