Here at SNS we love our wild game. Keep an eye out each month for a new wild game recipe! Here is one that we find perfect for the Holiday Season!

Ingredients:
- Package of bacon — preferably thin so that it will completely cook
- 1 lb venison or 4 steaks/backstraps (or meat of choice)
- 8 oz. cream cheese — spread on each steak cut
- 2 jalapenos –slice thin
- 1 cup balsamic dressing
- 1 cup Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:
- Thaw venison steaks or backstraps, once thawed cut into thin strips approximately 3-4 inches long and soak in a mixture of 50 percent balsamic dressing and 50 percent Worcestershire sauce until coated. Let meat soak for a minimum of 1 hour.
- Cut up jalapeños into small-medium sized pieces.
- Cut bacon into half inch strips.
- Place individual bacon strips onto cutting board. Place marinated venison on bacon and add a dollop of cream cheese and a small piece of pepper.
- Roll tightly into a ball and place a toothpick through the middle to hold together.
- Place the bacon wrapped venison onto pre-heated grill for approximately 15 minutes, turning every few minutes to cook meat thoroughly.
