Though bison meat isn't something you might find in every kitchen, we highly recommend skipping the beef next time you make dinner and trying buffalo meat instead! Buffalo (or bison) meat is a healthier alternative to beef and can be used in recipes just the same way. We did a side-by-side comparison with a beef meatloaf and thought this version was even better! The flavor is much sweeter and, because of the higher protein content, smaller portions are more satisfying. Buffalo gives meatloaf a delicious flavor and moist texture.
