A different “twist” for venison…the recipe will make 20 appetizers.

Ingredients:

1 pound venison steaks, cubed

1/2 teaspoon Greek seasoning, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon steak seasoning, or to taste

1 16 oz. bottle of Italian salad dressing

1/2 cup jalapeno pepper slices

10 slices of bacon, cut in half

toothpicks soaked in water

Directions:

Season the venison meat with Greek seasoning and steak seasoning. Place in a bowl, and pour in enough Italian dressing to cover. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate, but preferably overnight. Preheat the grill for medium heat. Drain the marinade from the meat, and discard the marinade. Place a slice of jalapeno on top of a piece of meat, then wrap with a slice of bacon. Secure with a soaked toothpick. Repeat with remaining meat.  Grill the deer poppers for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally to brown the bacon. Serve and enjoy!
