For the Meatloaf
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced green pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 whole eggs
1/2 tablespoon thyme leaf
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 cup half & half
1/4 cup ketchup
3 1/2 lb ground bison or ground beef
8 oz. fresh bread crumbs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325.

1.  Saute onions, peppers, and garlic until soft. Cool before proceeding.

2.  In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, thyme leaf, parsley, seasoning salt, black pepper, half & half, and ketchup. Mix completely.

3.  Place the fresh ground meat into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled vegetables and the egg/spice mixture. Gently mix by hand. Add the breadcrumbs to the meat mixture and mix until combined.
