Honey Bourbon Glazed Meatloaf

 

2 lbs of venison.

Ingredients

Glaze

3/4

cup ketchup

1/4

cup packed dark brown sugar

2

tablespoons cider vinegar

1/2

teaspoon hot sauce

2

Tablespoons of Wild Turkey Honey bourbon (optional)

(Heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds to help dissolve sugar)

Meatloaf

2

teaspoons vegetable oil

1

onion , chopped fine

2

garlic cloves , minced (or 1 tablespoon of dried garlic and herbs seasoning)

3/4

Italian bread crumbs

1/3

cup whole milk

2

Pounds of vesion 

3-6

large eggs (the more eggs the softer the meatloaf. I use 6)

2

teaspoons Dijon mustard

2

teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
 
Salt and pepper to taste
  
  
  
Instructions

(set aside approx 4 tablespoons of glaze to brush on meatloaf during cooking)
  1.  BROIL Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat broiler. Transfer meat mixture to prepared baking sheet and form into a loaf shape. Broil until well browned, about 5-7 minutes. Brush on 2 tablespoons of glaze and then return to oven and broil until glaze begins to brown, about 2 more minutes.
  2.  BAKE brush on 2 more tablespoons of  glaze. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake until meat loaf registers 160 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to carving board, tent with foil, and let rest 20 minutes. Slice and serve, passing  glaze at table.

What's the deal with the cloth bag Nepas?

SS is probably my favorite thing in the world. Do you mix your own spices or use a pre mix?

Cloth is old world Amish style. SS gets major smoke in cloth. The cloth is un bleached muslin.

When i dont feel so lazy i make my own mixes......Yikes

Dont cold water the cloth SS. Let it bloom at room temp.

I never really took notice....YIKES
 
Upon putting the chubs on the cutting board i was squeezing them and something just didnt feel right. The casings didnt have any small wrinkles to them

I said oh nooooo

Just as i thought.

All my venison casings were to old, even after soaking for an hour

However the cloth bag did turn out great.

Oh well one is better than none. Going to wrap in a paper bag and fridge it to relax a couple days.

Major bummer.
 
So what was wrong with them other than they don't look too good? Were they not edible?

The other one looks Great!

Taste was great. Just didnt look good enuff to vac seal and take to Texas to a friends bbq in couple weeks.
 
Dang that stinks. At least you can still trim the casing off and eat them.

I'll have to try the cloth method one time to compare, sounds like a good thing to try.
 
Yeah big bummer but i keep on going
