Easy Bison Bacon Meatloaf
Author: Amy Stafford
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 10 mins
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 yellow onion, minced [about 1 cup}
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ribs celery, sliced {about 1 1/2 cup}
  • 1 roasted red pepper, chopped
  • 2lbs ground bison
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon franks hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 cup gluten free italian panko bread crumbs
  • 10-12 slices uncured bacon
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean up and set aside.
  2. Add the coconut oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onion, celery, garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, add the eggs, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are broken up and evenly combined. Add the panko and coconut milk stir till blended. Add the onion mixture, red pepper, bison and Italian seasoning. Mix until thoroughly combined. You will need to use your hands.
  4. Using your hands again put the meat on the prepared baking sheet. Form the meat into a 9 by 5- inch loaf {approx.} Arrange the bacon across the top of the loaf overlapping slightly and bake until the internal temperature is 155 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer, about 55 to 65 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven to a cutting board and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

    Amy you have no idea how excited I am to try this out- Not having access to bison in Australia, I’m stoked! I’ve never tried Worcestershire sauce AND hot sauce together- I love both so I know it will be good!

    Meatloaf does have a bad wrap, but when made with bison and bacon, how can it be bad? I love, love, love cooking with Bison. Pinned to try soon!

    We were just talking last night about meatloaf getting a bad rap. Anything you add bacon to is going to make it better. Gotta try this!

    Dear Amy, the first time I tried biscon I overcooked it because I was not familiar with it. Now it seems to be all the rage and after seeing this beautiful meatloaf, I am tempted to try it again! xo, Catherine

      Thanks Catherine. Bison does dry out quickly so adding the bacon on top helps to keep everything nice and moist. Hope you give it a try!

    I remember always having meatloaf as a kid. It was the best meal of the week! I’ve never cooked bison before. I think I need to try it asap. Plus that bacon on top is yumm-o!

    I have so many childhood memories of really great meatloaf. It truly is versatile and goes great with so many sides (mashed potatoes!) Love the bison bacon idea (I’ve never tried it!)

    I see bison at our grocery store but I have yet to buy it. I think it might be time. And bacon wrapped…YES! Yum!

      You gotta try it Michelle. So much more lean than beef.

    Bison is such a great meat for lean meals – awesome flavor, too. This definitely looks 1000 times better than the meatloaf of my youth!

    I always have such a hard time with meatloaf. It either comes out too dry or falling apart! I seriously love bison though, and wrapped in bacon?! I think I may need to try meatloaf again!

      The bacon wrapped around will help to keep everything nice and moist!
