Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Venison Poppers

Post by HunterGKS »

Someone posted this recipe on Face Book & it sounded good so I thought
I’d make a batch for spring turkey camp at The Roost.

I used venison tenderloin & regular cut bacon. If I make them again, I
will cut the venison smaller, spread the cream cheese onto the onion, &
use thick cut bacon which I think will hold everything together better.

I made 6 with Jalapeno’s & the rest with Bell Peppers. I’ll
left them marinate in the garage (42 degrees) until tomorrow when
they’ll go into the freezer.

From start to finish, it only took an hour. I have 2 soaking that I will
broil later today & will post pics of the finished product as well as a critique.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. venison – tenderloin or backstrap preferred cut into 1” chunks
• Jalapeno or Bell Peppers seeded & cut into small pieces.
• ½ package of bacon (cut slices in half) thick cut works better than regular
• Cream Cheese
• 1 sweet onion sliced into ½” pieces
• Italian Dressing


Directions

• Soak toothpicks in water
• On a cutting board layout the 1/2 strips of bacon in a line. Assemble jalapeno,
venison, onion, and a swipe of cream cheese in a tower formation placed in
center of the bacon strip. Swiping the cream cheese onto the onion slice is what
I have found to be the easiest.
• Wrap bacon around the stack and stick with a toothpick through the middle to
hold contents together.
• Place the bites in a bowl or Tupperware container and marinade with Italian
dressing for 2-24 hours.
• Grill on medium heat and cook until bacon is done.

Something I forgot to mention, keep the venison frozen as
it makes it easier to cut into chunks.

Next time, I plan on some minor adjustments:

1. As I said, use thick cut bacon.

2. Use 2 half strips on each popper,1 going left-to-right & the other, top-to-bottom.
I think this will hold the cheese better as it did run a little during the cooking process.

3. I may make a few with cheddar just for schlitz 'n giggles. I think almost any cheese
would work

Ron also cooked them on tin foil on the grill. I think this will work better than directly
on the grill as they would be less likely to fall in.
