Meatloaf With Spiced Maple Ketchup

I made this tonight and doubled the recipe. I got home late and hungry, so the hardest part was waiting a whole hour for it to finish. This was sooo worth the wait. I ate 3/4's of the first loaf. Served with plain ol brown rice. The meatloaf had tons of flavor. Great recipe DT. Thank you

I like mixing bison meat into my other meats. It firms up the texture overall. This should be a good loaf albeit on the small side. Think I would up the ingredients by at least 50%. At least the meat portions, not necessarily the topping.

Yeh I had to double the recipe. I dont think I ever use just a pound for anything. I like having leftovers. The sauce was really good. The maple was a great touch. Made extra to put on after it was done, too

Your photos are lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I'm usually just cooking for 2 & still end up with leftovers when using 1lb. Glad you were able to double it no problem. Thanks!!

Thats ok. Believe it or not, I have been called a Pig before. I cant help it if I like good food : )
I did forget to say that I didnt use bison meat. I have never had bison meat before, and I would like to try it next time.......and there will be a next time. This was really good. I even had some for lunch on a toasted torta roll. Made a great sandwich.

Bison is good b/c it's very lean so it's nice to mix. I'll bet a sandwich with leftovers would be nice :)

I am definitely going to try this with bison. I dont have meatloaf often because of all the fat,. Thanks again, DT, for a great recipe

All the rave review comments by mr p made me hungry for meatloaf. I made a special effort to buy some real maple syrup. And I wasn't disappointed...I LOVE moist meatloaf and this was exactly what I was hungry for. The sauce was absolutely deelish...sweet, tangy and a little hot. Used 1 lb ground beef and made the recipe into two loaves. Will be making more sauce for the leftovers... My thanks to you too, DT! :)

Looked for bison tonight at the store where I have gotten it before and there was none! Shoot. But, it looks like Mr. P and gkw both used ground beef so I will, too. Nice picture, gkw. Mouthwatering.

Wasnt that sauce good, GK? Im really looking forward to trying this with bison.

I wonder, does it taste like beef just leaner? Is it gamy? With just beef this was really good. I hope you like it Frankie.I know your little HalloweenDude with the short legs will : )

Yes mr p! The sauce was SOOO good. But I'm afraid I can't answer your question about whether bison tastes GAMEY. Although I'm pretty sure it doesn't taste FISHY. :P

Actually, I've never even seen bison in the grocery store where I shop. The closest I've ever been to bison meat was at Wildlife Prairie Park. Native IL animals like wolves, bison, black bear, elk, cougar, otter, etc. roam free on the thousands of acres in that state park.

We have a bison ranch about 15 minutes from where I live, gkw. I think that's the only reason it was in our store. It doesn't taste gamey at all. Its very lean. It tastes a lot like beef. You can't really tell much of a difference, I don't think.

OK, I made this, too! We've got quite the photo gallery goin' on over there. :) This was so moist and good. I halved the meatloaf recipe (cut back on the milk just a bit so I could use the whole egg) but made the whole recipe of the sauce. I didn't put red pepper flakes in it because I wanted to see what maple syrup does for ketchup! Very good. I think I may use some of the sauce on a burger this weekend! Very nice recipe, DT. Oh, the two little pieces that Sammy ate made his tail wag. :)

That Happy Little Trick or Treating guy? He looked pretty round. I think he really likes meat loaf. I have a feeling that wasnt his first time eating some.........Nice photo. Makes me wish I had some left :)

Thank you GKwillow and Frankieanne for trying my meatloaf and thanks MrP for bringing it to attention! I'm so glad you all enjoyed it, and Sammy too! I'll have to put it on our menu sometime soon now after looking at all your yummy looking pics - thanks for adding those :-)

On bison...it does taste like beef to me it's just more lean so if used on its own needs to be watched more closely for getting dried out but mixed with beef makes a good and more healthful combo.
