Grilled Venison Bites

I got this recipe from a friend of mine a few weeks ago.  I just got down from the table from eating them.  I was a little wary of all the different flavors of the bacon,  marinade and seasonings, but I was very pleasantly surprised of the outcome. I guarunteeeeee you'll love them.     These would make wonderful holiday appetizers.  You can use any  cut of meat, but I recommend the tenderloin, since it's the leanest and most tender of venison.

Grilled Venison Bites 

1lb lean venison, cut into bite sized pieces

1/2lb Bacon, cut in half the short way

16 oz Italian Dressing

1-2 tablespoon  (or to taste) Tony Cachere's Cajun Seasoning

Wrap bacon around venison  pieces and secure with a toothpick.  If the bacon is too wide, then cut it in half length wise.

Place wrapped venison, in a single layer, in a non-metalic pan and pour the Italian Dressing over the meat.  Cover and let marinade over night

When ready to cook, place marinaded meat on a plate and sprinkle with Seasoning.

Grill until bacon turns crisp, turning often to keep flare ups under control.  You can even wrap these and put them all on a skewer for easier turning.

Yield:  Approximately 25 good sized venison bites.

Bon Appetite and Good Hunting!  :-)
