• 6-8 lb. venison loin or roast
• 8-12 slices bacon
• 4 oz. cream cheese
• 2-3 Tbsp. Jalapeño peppers
• 1 c. cheese of choice, shredded
• 1 tsp. Hidden Valley® ranch seasoning
• 2-3 dashes soy sauce
• 2-3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp. ketchup
• ½ c. brown sugar

Directions

1. Cut venison loin in half like a pocket so the open sides are closed (if it’s a roast, use a rolling pin to flatten it).

2. Season venison to taste with salt, pepper, etc.

3. Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapeños, Hidden Valley ranch seasoning and put into the loin.

4. Mix brown sugar, Worcestershire, soy sauce and ketchup. Rub half the sauce on each side of the lion.

5. Wrap lion with bacon, secure with a toothpick, pour remaining sauce on top.

6. Bake at 400 degrees or grill for 35-45 minutes. If bacon isn’t crispy, broil for 4 minutes.
