Ellen’s Buffalo Meatloaf

I must’ve had a very juicy pound of bison beef because I had to add an extra 3/4 cup of breadcrumbs plus I dried out the piece of bread. I added the brown sugar and Worcester to the catsup. It was OK, but that took a long time for a 1 pound meatloaf!

I made this recipe the other night for myself and my boys. I modified it just a bit to make it bigger by adding a pound of ground elk to the bison. I’ve hunted both of these animals so figured I’d make a unique meatloaf. I also omitted the onion as my boys don’t like that texture (eye roll). It was very tasty and we all enjoyed it, and the additional pound of meat provided me a single portion leftover meal for a different dinner. I did get the ‘juice’ that you mentioned from the bison meat but didn’t seem to mind the flavor. In fact I thought that it helped the meatloaf from drying out. Overall a wonderful recipe that I’ll be using again.

I love it! This was the first time using Buffalo and I wasn’t disappointed. I kept right to the recipe but did make one mistake. I accidentally put the ketchup in with the meat mixture. Maybe that is why it was so moist. I then did add some more on top before baking and that glaze was great. Oh, I didn’t have a reg. onion so I used a red onion. If I ever see Buffalo on sale again I will try it again!

I just made this recipe as is and it was AWESOME!!! The only thing I did differently is I made two smaller meat loaves instead of one big one because I was running behind and didn’t want to wait an hour and a half. Doing it that way I baked it for an hour and they came out PERFECT. I will definitely be making this again.

Mushrooms and v8 instead of diced tomatoes, a little garlic and barbecue seasoning. Used sage dressing mix for bread. We liked it!

This is the best meatloaf I have ever had. I am not a big fan of meatloaf but I had some ground bison so I decided to try this. Wow was I surprised! I will make this again!

My boyfriend said it was the best meatloaf he’s ever had!!!!!

I substituted a tomato based BBQ sauce instead of ketchup and it was amazing!

Tasty, moist, wouldn’t change a thing.

We’ve eaten buffalo/bison for about 10 years. It’s about the same price as ground beef, but sweeter. I have eliminated the problem of the funky juices by learning from Julia Child. Always dry your meat. I put several pieces of paper towel in a colander and allow the meat to lose all of that moisture. I also add Worcestershire Sauce and for 2 lbs. of bison I add some tomato paste, a can of small diced tomatoes, a small onion, egg, etc. Bison is one of the best meats out there. Hope this helps someone. Hearty Appetite!!

This was absolutely delicious. My package of ground buffalo contained 1.25 pounds. I used two slices of bread, one can of drained rotel tomatoes and I added two cloves of minced garlic — otherwise, all measurements were exactly as in recipe, although I only baked it for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It sliced up beautifully and everyone enjoyed it! This will be my go-to recipe for cooking ground buffalo from now on.

we made this last night and really enjoyed it. the only changes we made was the addition of 2 cloves of garlic and a sprinkle some hot chilli flakes on top.it was very tasty and stayed together quite nicely! we will definitely be making this again!

This was my first time making meatloaf and it was absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe and made 2 loaves so I would have meals for the week. When I took this for lunch, my coworker asked me what smelled so good. I’m definitely this one again and again and again 🙂

I’ve used this recipe about a half dozen times now and I have never been disappointed. I give this recipe 5 star for its easy preparation and consistent flavor time and again. Well done Ellen!

This was very tasty. I didn’t have any bread so I subbed crushed crackers. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. We will definitely be having this again!

Yum!! Juicy and delicious. I made the recipe exactly as written, except that I baked it in muffin tins (as someone else suggested) for 25 min. I even won over my skeptical husband. My picky 8 year old ate it in a bun and called it a cheese burger. He even asked for seconds, which he never does.

Followed the recipe exactly. It’s a nice meatloaf. I like the tomatoes in it. Good idea. I didn’t have trouble like other reviewers slicing it. Some said it crumbled, mine sliced like normal meatloaf. I also didn’t have the “juice” the submitter talked about in her review. It all came out status quo. I must say though, if you’ve not had buffalo before, the texture looks a bit like cat food. Tastes pretty good though. I didn’t find it gamey at all. Thanks for sharing ellenmoriah.

Delicious comfort food!

This is easy, and amazing. I didn’t have, of all things, canned tomatoes, so I drained a 10 oz can of Rotel tomatoes and chilis, and used that instead. It was fantastic. The slight sweet taste of the ketchup was marvelous against the spice of the Rotel. I baked it in my microwave convection oven, 30 minutes at 350 and 25 at 325. Perfect. I will definitely make this again.

Made it for my girlfriend. she loved it! even got five year old nephew to try it.(thats saying alot) will.definitely make again

huge hit in our family! I accidentily forgot to drain the tomatoes so I added 1 cup of quick oats to help soak up the juice, and a second egg to help the oats bind to the meatloaf. I also diced a green pepper and added it because I didn’t want it to go to waste. This recipe made a huge meatloaf, enough to comfortably serve 8. Serious bargain meal with great flavor.
