- 12 oz. bacon, chopped
- 1 small white onion, chopped

- 1 1/2 lbs. extra-lean ground venison
- 1 egg
- 1/4 c. evaporated milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium heat until the pieces are browned. Remove bacon from skillet and drain on a paper towel. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease. Add onions, garlic, and mushrooms to skillet and cook until soft. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, stir together venison, egg, and milk. Stir in the onion and mushrooms mixture. Mix in about 4 ounces of the cheese, all but 1 tablespoon of bacon, and cornflake crumbs; mix until well blended. Shape into a loaf, and place in a loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Drain fat from meatloaf. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bacon and return to oven. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
"All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground,
and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power.
I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables. "
Genesis 9:2-3
