MOOSE MEATLOAF

Ingrediants:
1 egg
¾ c. milk
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese (Colby Jack is also good)
½ c. quick cooking oats
½ c. chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1 ½ tsp. Garlic Pepper
1 lb. ground moose / elk
1 c. ketchup
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 ½ tsp. prepared mustard

DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, beat the egg and milk. Stir in cheese, oats, onion, salt, & pepper. Let sit for five minutes to let the oats soak up the egg and milk mixture. Add ground moose/elk, then mix well (it works better if you mix it with your hands). At this point you can shape into eight mini loaves and place in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish, or you can just make one big loaf and place in a greased bread pan. Combine ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Stir. Spoon over loaves or loaf. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hr. or until a meat thermometer inserted in center of loaf reads 160 degrees.
