For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground venison and sausage in a skillet before combining with the other ingredients. If you don't have bacon grease on hand, butter or olive oil can be substituted. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. This meatloaf is also excellent when formed into patties and grilled outdoors. Grill over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
