Easy Venison Meatloaf

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground venison
• 1 (6 ounce) package dry stuffing mix (such as Stove Top®)
• 1 cup water
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup barbecue sauce, divided
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Mix venison, stuffing mix, water, onion, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, eggs, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl until fully incorporated. Shape venison mixture into a loaf and place in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over the top of loaf.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
