Bourbon Buffalo Meatloaf

We had this dish in Paradise Lodge in Mount Ranier National Park. It tasted better in the Lodge than when I cooked it. It only has eggs and vegetables, no starch for a binder. The size of the dish was not specified, so I put it in my usual loaf pan. It took much longer than specified to cook. My second mistake was to poor off "the fat" to see if that would help it cook faster, when I saw yellow going down the drain, I realized I had poured off the binder, the result was grainy, but my family really enjoyed it, especially with the sauce. When I repeat this recipe I will probably cut it in half and only use one pound of bison (high cost of bison) to feed four. I plan to cook individual meatloaves, that should help the cooking it all the way through problem.
