This is a yummy and moist meatloaf with a bit of a kick. Use more or less spices to suit your taste, I like it as is!
This almost like my own recipe. I use sugar only in the topping. To cut down on the gamey taste(which I like BTW) make a double batch with one lb hamburger.
Read MoreThis was a little too sweet, next time I will cut back on the brown sugar.

I added about 1/4 cup of ground pork, 1/4 cup of chili sauce, and increased some of the spices. Also, I rolled it flat, sprinkled broccoli and layered ham and swiss cheese and rolled it up like a jelly roll. It was absolutely delicious.
Good starting point. I ended up cutting down on the sugar and using fresh onion and garlic.
My whole family loved it. I've made lots of meatloaf with venision...not all have been good. But this one everyone liked! I made it the day before and had it in the frig. Will make this one again!
I cook with a lot of wild game. I am always looking for a new twist on the recipes! This was delicious! Thanks for sharing.
This was great!! I was a little concerned making meatloaf with venison... I thought it might not be moist enough. But it was! Also, I was missing the thyme, so I just made it without, and it was still wonderful.
This is an awesome meatloaf recipe. My family loves it! I always make sure to double this recipe.
This is the FIRST meatloaf that turned out perfect for me. I went by the recipe except for a few spices that I was out of. I doubled as we packaged our deer in 2 pounds. I love deer meat and I don't try to hide it's flavor. This is the best meat loaf (no matter what meat) I have ever had. I have never liked meatloaf until this recipe.
Ok for ground venison, but I think it could be used in another recipe and taste much better.
I thought this was excellent!!! My hubby is not a big fan of venison but he loved this as well as my daughter(7) and my son(23). After I told my son it was deer he said no Mom that is hamburger!! It was super yummy!!!
Very easy to make, with common household ingredients. It was a little on the sweet side, but I am very pleased with my first meatloaf project
We didn't care for this. The brown sugar makes it too sweet. And, for the kids to say it was 'too sweet' and 'we wouldn't want this again' says it all.
Very good. I didn't have dried cilantro, but since it's in parsley family, I decided it would be ok to substitute it with dried parsley. It took closer to an hour for mine to be completely cooked. I do like how the meatloaf tastes...for venison, you wouldn't really KNOW it was venison.
Pleasing taste! Everyone in my family loves this meatloaf. With a hint of sweetness to it makes it that much better.
This was amazing. Not the prettiest dish, but the flavor was worth it. A great way to use venison for people who aren't nromally fans of venison!
This was very good. I hate to change a recipe and then review, but my only major change was I needed 2 pounds of meat, so I used 1 pound of ground pork with 1 pound of venison. Then I doubled everything else, except the brown sugar and cinnamon. Oh...didn't have cilantro, but I don't care for that anyway, I used parsley. I could still taste the cinnamon rather strongly, but that might be because pork is more mildly flavored. All in all, as I fixed it, a solid 4. I suppose it could be a 5 without my changes, but I think the cinnamon and brown sugar would be very strong with just one pound of meat.
This recipe was very good except i used fresh liquid mustard fresh, onions chopped, used the round ritz crackers and i added worsteshire..it was very good! thanks for the recipe.
I didn't have spicy brown mustard, so I used Dijon, so maybe it's not fair to give a lower rating, but we found this pretty bland.
I made this with my dad who loves hunting. I actually don't like the gamey taste of deer, but I wanted to cook something for my brother, dad and I to enjoy. this was a great recipe and it didn't taste too gamey at all. I added a little more brown sugar and it was a hit! thanks!
This is possibly one of the best tasting meatloaf ever! It's a little chewy but delicious! I left out the cinnamon and half the sugar. I added salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, extra minced onion, and extra mustard. Delicious!
had some venison hindquarter that I ran through my grinder a couple times to make the ground venison. Because I had some leftover uncooked bacon (four thick slices) I added it for grins. Otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Turned out great. Will definitely make it again and will keep adding the bacon.
Actually, I've made it 3 times now.It is delicious and I haven't changed anything...
OK, I didn't follow the recipe very closely, but that's the way I cook. Home baked bread, cubed, instead of crackers, fresh garlic instead of flakes, and a gourmet bbq sauce mixed in instead of the other spices and ketchup. Turned out excellent as I'm sure it would have if I followed the directions as written. Thanks for the inspiration.
I liked it, needs more meat though. Added 1 lb of ground pork, used Panko bread crumbs and used fine cut onion and garlic. Used nutmeg (I was out of cinnamon) and just used a local bbq sauce to top while it cooked. Venison is very lean so I used the pork to add some fat and moisture. Great guide you provided!
It was a pretty straightforward recipe. Didn't have cilantro so I substituted parsley. I didn't have ground thyme so I used dried rhyme instead. Tasted wonderful and was nice and moist! I will definitely make this again!
I was pleased with how it turned out, although I think it could’ve been even better with more spices. Next time I have something to go off of though.
Followed recipe almost exactly, except I topped it with Harry&David pepper and onion relish. Delicious!
EXCELLENT!
I've made venison meatloaf bfore and it always came out dry and tough. This recipe was perfect! The meat was tender and moist! Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
A good basic recipe for venison meatloaf. I made it per the recipe, the only issue was it to sweet for my liking. I'll make it again but tweak it some for my taste buds.
I don't think this recipe is to sweet! I think the cinnamon is giving a meat that's already inclined towards sweet a flavor a lot aren't used to in a savory dish. My modifications: Two one pound 1/2 venison 1/2 grass fed 85/15 ground beef I did not double the sugar (I did double the rest) Used a microplane to add 1/4 of a fresh yellow onion (i think I'll use more next time) Used a garlic crusher to add two hefty fresh garlic cloves I didn't have cilantro I used dried parsley And the topping was more of a bbq sauce with garlic, onion, liquid aminos (not coconut aminos!), Worcestershire, Dijon, and a touch of balsamic in addition to sugar and ketchup. The dish was really good! The cinnamon flavor reminded me of an Indian inspired recipe and I think it went really well with the venison. I added beef to not overwhelm picky toddler palates but next time I think I'll make it full venison for the hubby and I!
Really good meatloaf. I did however use fresh garlic and onions. My husband loved it.
I didn’t use any of the brown sugar and did add crushed red pepper and it was perfection! I don’t care for brown sugar at all so omitting it was great for me. I didn’t bake it with any sauce on top but used Spicy ketchup on it and it was so good. I am going to bake it with the Spicy ketchup on it this next time and see how that it. Great and very simple recipe!!
Substituted steel oats for crackers and added chopped peppers, sweet, mild, and jalepeno. Used Pressure Cooker. Needed a little salt (no crackers).
It turned out great. I used 1/2 lb venison sausage and 1/2 lb venison burger. I would definitely make this again however I only used half the brown sugar in the meat and none in the topping, added 1 seeded Anaheim pepper for a little more flavor and next time I would forgo using the cinnamon.
I followed this exactly except I couldn't find the paprika. Came out great without it. I'll make it again. Soon. With paprika.
I put diced Tomatoes in it and fresh slices of tomato on top. I also mixed tomato paste and chili pepper paste together with a dash of ketchup for the topping. I also did not have any crackers. So i Crumbled up some Bagel crisps instead. Worked out great!
This was a hit. I doubled the recipe and that filled up a normal loaf pan. I cooked it for about an hour. I skipped the ketchup and brown sugar on top and just served it with ketchup at the end. The brown sugar was not too sweet but I think the topping would have been. Overall, good recipe!
I added a layer of cheddar cheese in the middle of the loaf. Dont be skimpy! Delicious!
My husband said it was the best ever and I agree 100%!So easy, only substitution I made was grating an onion since I never use onion flakes.
Boyfriend loved it. Said it was the best meatloaf he ever had. Easy to make & will definitely make again.
I didn't make any changes to this recipe and I found it to be very tasty.
I didn't make any changes. We enjoyed it. The brown sugar in the sauce did make it a little sweet. I would cut back on the amount of brown sugar, but other than that it was very good.
