I'm lucky to live where I can buy locally raised bison. I love it's nutritional value as well as it's leanness. That being said, it needs support from other ingredients in a meatloaf recipe to yield juicy and full flavored results. Fresh breadcrumbs, grated vegies and cottage cheese keep everything moist, the various peppercorns and dijon add tanginess, and the bacon and chipotle contribute a smoky quality without baking this indirectly on a grill . Using my pressure cooker speeds up the process (the only way I make meatloaf any more) and making two small loaves so I can freeze one is also labor saving (we are after all only two in this house)!
