Grilled Bacon Wrapped Venison Tenderloin

YUMMY!

My husband requested this dish in place of ham or turkey for our NEW YEAR'S FEAST! And I am so glad he did! The bacon... wow... the venison... arh, arh, arh...

1 strip of Tenderloin
1 lb. of smoked bacon
1/4 c. onion powder
1/4 c. garlic salt
1/4 c. pepper (black/white or both)
SOME butter
Skewers or toothpicks to hold bacon in place

Ingredients

First you will need to spread the seasonings/spice evenly in a long baking, casserole or cake pan; one spice at a time:

Spread evenly

Then take your tenderloin and roll into the spice to cover the entire piece of venison.

THICKLY cover the ENTIRE piece!

Take your seasoned tenderloin and wrap with strips of bacon using toothpicks or skewers to hold the bacon in place.

Bacon wrapped and held in place w/ skewers

Heat an iron skillet, add butter. When butter is completely melted, and bubbling... gently place tenderloin to sear each side with butter until bacon is SLIGHTLY browned.

UNTIL SLIGHTLY BROWNED

Take out of frying plan and put on the grill! Cook to your liking ... and eat! Eat it with anything... we had collards and blackeyed peas because it was New Years... but you can eat it with wild rice, salads, any vegetable you like. It's one of my favorite... ONE OF... my favorite venison dishes! I hope you decide to use this simple technique and let me know what you think of it!

Growing Future Outdoor Sportsmen and Sportswomen

What a weekend! First we got snow, then we had the opportunity to go to our local Wildlife Management Area to look for sheds, rubs, tracks, scat, skeletal remains... or anything else we could find out there in the woods. My husband and I enjoy getting the kids outdoors so they can experience nature first hand. Our initial intent was to look for sheds. Although we didn't find any sheds, we enjoyed what we did find, and the time we spent together, as a family. Just as we entered the woods, I told my children to watch for dogs. People are constantly dropping dogs off in these woods. They toss pups they've killed, and often times dump them in nearby streams and watersheds. I've even discovered whole litters of starving pups with an empty bag of torn open dog feed that had been left with them. It's really sad. It's also dangerous to people entering the WMA because the dogs are starving, wild, and afraid. Dog remains...

Back to my Roots

Being outdoors is as natural to me as breathing. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have the opportunity to venture out from time to time. I'm thankful my family enjoys fishing and hunting as much as I do, and I'm hoping to do more of it this year than I ever have. Over the past few months, we've been doing a LOT of fishing. Since my homeschooling days, I don't get to get on my blog as often, and the topics I cover have somewhat changed. I'm hoping, however, to get back to my roots and start incorporating my outdoor life with healthy living and eating habits. First and foremost, I'm thankful for my husband and children. They are the very air I breath and a blessing from God above. A couple weeks back my, on a rainy day in Georgia, my husband, my children and I drove up to a beautiful serene river in settled in the lower banks of the Northeast Georgia Mountains. We each had our fishing poles in hand and made a half-mile trek throu...

About Getting the Children Outdoors

With the encouragement of several followers, I had my sites set on creating an outdoor curriculum which could be taught in the classroom, public or homeschooled. Not being one who likes to reinvent the wheel, I began to do some research and came across Acorn Naturalists which provides educational books and tools for trail, as well as the classroom. After ordering their catalog, I realized the extent of their product line was way more than I could create on my own. Acorn Naturalists has activities, teaching tools, and kits that cover a variety of natural and outdoor activities and lessons for all ages; particularly preschool through middle grades. For those outdoor enthusiast, I implore you take an interest in involving young children in your business or hobby. I had written an earlier post in my blog called Changing the Looks of Things about inviting people into what you do to give them a better perception. I'm not a wr...
