- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt , or more to taste
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder , or more to taste

Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2
Make sure roast is at room temperature. Tie roast at 3-inch intervals with cotton twine; this helps it from drying out and allows it to cook more evenly. Place roast on a rack in a baking pan.

3
Mix together salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning mixture into the meat.
-
4
Place in the preheated oven and roast for 60 minutes, or 20 minutes per pound if your roast is larger or smaller. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 120 to 125 degrees F (49 to 52 degrees C).
-
5
Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil, and let rest so juices can redistribute, 15 to 20 minutes.

Bacon-Wrapped Buffalo Meatloaf
Most people who replace their ground beef with buffalo, in recipes like meatballs, burgers, and meatloaf, are usually disappointed. Ground buffalo is much leaner than ground beef, which is the biggest challenge. In case you're new, it's the fat that provides most of the flavor and moisture. Also, for whatever reason, pre-packaged buffalo is ground very fine, almost to a paste, which can lead to a rubbery meatloaf, unless you use a few tricks.
