VENISON MEATLOAF - DOLLAR STRETCHER

Don't you automatically lean toward cooking the tenderloins and chops? One of my favorite recipes for venison is to put a roast in the slow cooker - too simple. But, today my daughter (who is hardly ever home anymore for a meal) asked me to make meatloaf and, of course, that's what she had for dinner.

1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground venison
4 slices bacon, cut in half
2 eggs
1 pkg onion soup mix
1/3 cup ketchup
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup water

Mix well, form loaf in 9x13 pan, lay the bacon across the loaf, and bake at 350 for one hour. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.

Makes about 8 good size slices and is guaranteed delicious!
