Recipe – Glazed Venison Meatloaf

I am always on the lookout for recipes that are simple to make, hearty, and of course, delicious. I also love recipes that make great leftovers. This recipe for meatloaf fits that bill perfectly. It can be made with ground venison, elk, or beef. Pair it with your favorite starch (like honey roasted potatoes) and salad or veggies and you have an easy meal and maybe even the makings for a sandwich the next day.
