• Add the ground meat and mix until evenly and well combined. (You can use a food processor for all of the above if you want a an even more well combined spice and meat mixture.)
• For the glaze, combine the ketchup (or BBQ sauce), brown sugar, and vinegar and whisk to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
• Pile the meat mixture in the middle of the prepared pan and shape into a loaf about 9 inches long and 4 inches wide (it doesn't have to be perfect; just try to get it an even thickness throughout).
• Spoon the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake for 45-50 minutes until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the meatloaf.
• Loosely tent with foil and let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

• **Recipe should be"plump" from the addition of the milk or Half & Half.

• 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.
