Are you ready to cook up a healthy alternative to ground beef? Then my Easy Bison Meatloaf Recipe is perfect for you! This recipe is packed with Italian flavors, real ingredients and is great for any night of the week.
1. Start with preheating the oven at 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add the bison along with the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of ketchup, onions, garlic, egg and egg white, seasonings, basil and cheese. 2. Mix together with your hands(using gloves is optional) and season with more salt if you desire.
3. Coat your meatloaf pan with the olive oil. Take the bison mixture and shape it into the meatloaf pan.
4. Place the meatloaf on top of a sheet pan and put it in the oven to bake for about 1 hour. Half way through cooking, add the additional ketchup on top. 5. Bison should reach 160 degrees internal temperature. You will want to use a meat thermometer or instant read themometer for accuracy. Be sure to place the thermometer in the middle of the loaf when temping.
6. When done, carefully remove the bison meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle top with fresh parsley if desired. Let the meatloaf cool before cutting into it. 7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Tips: I highly recommend using a baking sheet pan underneath your loaf pan so that you can prevent any juice spillage into your oven. A food processor is handy for chopping the onion and garlic. It also helps with releasing all that juice which will flavor up the meatloaf even more. To make it easier to lift out the meatloaf from the pan, you can line it with parchment paper. Another alternative is to coat with oil or spray your loaf pan.
