Description

This comforting Venison Loaf with Noodles is a hearty, family-friendly meal that transforms lean game meat into a tender, flavorful centerpiece.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9-inch ring mold or loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine milk, onion soup mix, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is mushy and crumbs are softened.
  3. Add the ground venison to the bread crumb mixture and mix thoroughly until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Press the venison mixture firmly into the prepared ring mold. Turn out onto a baking sheet or pan.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together catsup, brown sugar, and prepared mustard to make the glaze.
  6. Brush half of the glaze mixture over the top of the venison loaf.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven, brush with the remaining glaze, and return to oven. Bake for another 20 minutes.
  9. Arrange jack cheese slices over the top of the loaf. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  10. While the loaf bakes, cook egg noodles according to package directions until tender. Drain well.
  11. In a large bowl, toss the hot drained noodles with butter, half-and-half, and grated jack cheese until coated and creamy.
  12. Sprinkle poppy seeds over the noodles and toss gently to distribute evenly.
  13. Carefully slide the venison loaf onto a serving plate. Spoon the poppy seed noodles into the center ring of the loaf.
  14. Serve immediately while warm.
