Bison Salsa Meat Loaf
  • 1 lb. New Frontier Bison Burger
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (1 medium-large onion)
  • ½ cup finely chopped carrot
  • ¼ cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
  • ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons nonfat tomato salsa ( as hot as you like)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

    • 1) Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ¾ inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
    2) Heat olive oil in medium-size heavy skillet over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add onion, carrots, and celery and stir-fry until limp about five minutes.
    3) Transfer skillet mixture to large bowl. Add Bison, rolled oats, ½ cup salsa, and all remaining ingredients. Mix well.
    4) Pat mixture into prepared pan and bake uncovered 30 minutes. Spread remaining 3 Tablespoons salsa on top and bake until meatloaf is set and juices run clear ( about 15 minutes longer). A meat thermometer inserted in the middle of loaf should read 180ºF.
    5) Remove meat loaf from oven and let stand in upright pan 15 minutes; this firms up the meat loaf and allows the juices to settle.
    6) Cut into 6 thick slices and serve.
