["Meatloaf: Combine meat loaf ingredients and place into a loaf baking dish.", "Smooth out top.", "Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients and pour on top and sides of meatloaf.", "Bake at 350u00b0F about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done.", "ENJOY!", "*The addition of 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet(R) makes this recipe very good.", "**Recipe should be""plump"" from the addition of the milk or Half & Half.", "It should NOT be runny.", "***A second batch of sauce served hot is good to serve with the meatloaf.", "Nita's Note: I note that some of you are using game meat such as deer -- Deer is a very DRY meat. It is wise to HAVE some fat added to the deer -- especially to ground deer. Maybe 25 % fat, ( I recommend 1 lb of ground venison, and 1/2 lb of deer sausage for fat content), otherwise your results will be poor. I don't know about some of the other game meat some are using. Please consult an expert. The recipe is delicious as it stands! Enjoy! Nita Holleman."]
