Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine eggs, rosemary, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Briskly stir until all ingredients are mixed together and the eggs are well blended.
Step 3
Add onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, and walnuts; stir to combine. Add ground bison and mix until everything is well combined.
Step 4
Turn out mixture onto a 9x13-inch metal baking pan and shape into a loaf, about 9 inches long and 5 inches wide.
Step 5
Place bacon strips along the length of the meatloaf and secure the ends with wooden toothpicks.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to sit, uncovered, about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer onto a cutting board or serving platter.
Step 8
Remove toothpicks and slice into 1/2-inch slices to serve.
