Bacon wrapped backstraps Stuffed with Cream cheese, sautéed onions, mushrooms, jalapeños and sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. Smoked with pecan wood then finished over open flame.

Here’s the deets…


I cut the meat in about 3/4-1” pieces then pound them out as thin as I can. Spread on some cream cheese… season with S&P. Add a little sautéed onion and mushrooms, a little diced jalapeño and a sprinkle of thin grated cheddar. I also add a few crumbles of browned breakfast sausage to give it some “body” but it’s not a must.


Don’t be too heavy handed with the filling. Just a little spread around.


Roll the thing up as well as you can, you’ll lose some stuffing, then wrap tightly with a slice of thin cut bacon and secure with a toothpick.


I smoked these indirect heat at 275 for about 1/2 hr then pulled the guts out of my BGE and finished them hot direct on the coals.


Honestly, I usually do these on the Weber and thought I’d try the egg. They were a little better this way but they’re much easier to do on the gasser. Either way, when the bacon is cooked, they’re done.

Sounds very delicious except for the mushrooms…yuck. Lol. Looks yummy

I make those as well. I leave out the onions and sausage. Definitely some fine eating. Can substitute thin cut steak instead of deer. Either way need to make plenty because they disappear fast

He knows I have 3 or four whole tenderloins in my freezer. Methinks he wants me to eat them to make room for new ones this season.
