Stuffed venison meatloaf.

2 lbs. ground deer burger

1/2 lbs. chopped grilled or fried skinny link pork sausage (in Alabama, Conecuh is best)

2 to 3 slices of fried bacon chopped into small bits

1/4 lbs. shredded cheese (I like sharp cheddar but Colby-jack and Swiss is good too)

2 eggs

diced onion

diced peppers

1 packet or handful oatmeal

1 packet McCormick meatloaf seasoning

1 jar of steak sauce

1 jar of sloppy joe sauce

Preheat oven to 400F. Mix the deer burger and meatloaf seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Add both eggs and continue to mix. Add oatmeal if you need to thicken the mix.

In a large loaf pan or casserole dish place about 40% of the meat in the bottom on spread evenly until about a 1/2 inch thick. This will be the "floor". In the middle of the floor going towards the ends add the sausage pieces, onions & peppers, bacon bits and cheese.Leave about 1 inch of the floor uncovered for now. Take the remaining burger and flatten out to cover the stuffing (it's easier if you make this into 3 or 4 sections). This will form the "roof". Once the roof is in place spread to completely cover the stuffing and kneed it into the floor along the sides and ends.

Bake for 45mins. or 1 hour if you like it well done.

While it is baking make mixture of half & half steak sauce and sloppy joe sauce. Apply to outside of roof after baking but while still hot. Place back into oven allow residual heat to work on the sauce for about 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool.
