BAMBI BITES
This easy-to-make appetizer will MELT IN YOUR MOUTH! It’s marinated deer loin, wrapped around a chunk of cheese, then wrapped again with bacon.
The combination of a chipotle marinade and pepper jack cheese create a tantalizing zesty flavor, without the spicy kick. The lime in the marinade actually begins to “cook” the meat, so do NOT marinate for too long, half hour is plenty. The meat fiber is also broken down by the lime so it’s tender. As with all of my venison recipes, it’s best cooked medium-rare (do not overcook or it gets tough and dry). I guarantee, this one will go over big at your next party.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pound venison loin
- Half Pound pepper jack cheese (block)
