**(Makes 1 Loaf Pan)**

***Ingredients***

- 1 cup white or yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1.5 cup tomato juice
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1.5 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 cups soft breadcrumbs (crumbled day old bread)
- 2.5 pounds of White Oak grass-fed beef
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce

***Instructions***

Preheat oven to 350º. Sauté onions and celery in oil until soft, but not browned. Remove from heat and cool completely. Combine tomato juice and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Add onion, celery mix, and ground bison, eggs, salt and pepper. Blend until just combined. Form the mixture into loaves in a greased loaf pan. Baste each loaf lightly with barbecue sauce. Cover lightly with foil. Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 155º. Remove from oven and let stand covered until slightly cooled.
