Grilled Venison Bites (Deer Balls) (Cajun) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb venison
    1 lb bacon
    16 ounces Italian dressing
    1 -2 tablespoon Tony Chachere's Seasoning
Preparation
    Cut venison into bite size bits.
    Cut bacon into 3-4 inch pieces. You may even want to cut the bacon strips in half, length-wise first, depending on the width of the bacon.
    Wrap each chunk of meat with a piece of bacon, using a tooth pick to hold in place.
    Place wrapped venison in a plastic bag and cover with dressing. Marinate over night.
    Place marinated deer balls on plate and sprinkle with seasoning.
    Grill until bacon is crisp, turning often. I found the easiest way is to use a fish basket, that way you can turn them all over at once. Another way is to use a skewer. No mater what method you use, watch for flare ups, since the oil in the Italian dressing will cause quite a blaze if you don't keep an eye on it. I walked away one time to get a beer and when I came back my balls were burnt to a crisp.
