Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground buffalo
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground buffalo, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Use clean hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in a dense meatloaf.

Step 4

Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it evenly into the pan and smoothing the top.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.

Step 6

Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 8

After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, and return it to the oven.

Step 9

Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Carefully lift the meatloaf out of the pan, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
